my favorite zoa, josh!

here's a pic i took of one the night they landed in the united states, march 29th of this year:

they seem to be a hardy polyp and grow quickly from what i have seen - good news for such a lovely coral.

cheers!

Nicest phot of Adonis I've seen. That's why I used it on my RH magazine article

thanks jps!

what i think i like best about that photo is that it shows how they grow in the wild. you can see they are growing on dead seriatopora (birdsnest coral). the polyps are sparse, usually only one or two growing together, and mixed with a variety of other polyps in the bunch. these don't grow in thick mats on rocks in the wild like you see with a lot of other z's/p's. and being that they grow on dead birdsnest, it is indicative of the environment they most likely prefer - high light/high current, such as a reef crest zone.

Adonis got gold speckles in the fringes.

I'm looking for some myself, to me it's a must have in the zoa garden

Agreed. I'll take these over halls if they are less likely to melt

Has anyone who owns one had issues with them? I recently picked one up and he was open first couple of days then closed up. Hes been closed up for days now.

Usually means too much light.

Have you started low and moved up?
