Agreed pink and golds all the way. One of the hardiest Paly too. Just make sure if you blast em with light otherwise they look like poop with a skirt.

I will agree with everyone else on this one, I ripped them out by huge mats with 30+ in each group. They grew from 3-4 polyps to i would say well over 80+ in just a few months and that was with me pulling them out the keep them fragged. Mine morphed into an awesome color with a green speckled face plate and bright pink skirt but they were overgrowing some of my acros and and stunting them so they are banished to my sump right now being blasted with an led light until i can get rid of them all.

My pink and golds are trying to out compete the H.A. lol, and I think the P&Gs are winning.

fruit loops zoa grew from ~40 to several hundred in 18 months. It now covers a 6 x 3 area. They look great between nuke greens and eagle eyes.

Nice! Thanks everyone for all the posts of your favs and fast growers.
I'm sure anxious to start adding more to my tank. It would be SO easy to just go on a crazy buying spree....but....gotta go slow if I want to do this right.
I think my next squishy will be a frag of Eagle Eye

I think these answers will vary because everyone has a different tank and different lights, and flow.

Therefore, every zoa or paly may be different in which grows the fastest.

I assumed as much actually, but it's fun hearing from other reefers none the less :smile:

True, for some reason it seems that zoa/paly success really can't be determined until they are in our tanks, like it's almost always a gamble as to what will grow well and what won't.
