Yes it's my understanding that palys and zoas need to be on an island right?

Yes.

 

[Calmwaters]

Yes.

That's what I had planned I might need to get bigger rocks though and move the ones I have on them.

Should be but not at all required.

Here are the corals I picked up from the somewhat local lady Sunday. Two of the zoas aren't opening all the way and I hope they are just still getting use to the tank.

I totally forgot! I'm so sorry.

No worries! I know life gets crazy sometimes.

I am not an expert, but here's where I'd put stuff if this was my coral list and my tank:

Green are future considerations white are what you listed.

I would put the leathers on opposite ends, cabbage on the right because of powerhead placement in my opinion.

Zoas and Palys on one or two islands anywhere you want them. GSP away from the rocks. It can grow on the glass if you want.

Hammers I would make a "garden"

Today is the day! I'm placing my corals!

Can zoas and palys be on the same rock or is it better to separate them?

 

[tbrown]

Can zoas and palys be on the same rock or is it better to separate them?

Yes.

 

[tbrown]

I think they can be but typically one will grow faster and outcompetes the other. Separate will probably be better in the long run.

Don't be like me lol, my zoas are growing on the other corals, unfortunately I'm going to have to get rid of a few bam bam, they even killing my magician and super saiyan zoas and climbing in the anacropora too

I think some of your bam bam can find a home in my tank... ;)

If they weren't in the rocks I would send them all to you lol
