Do you think zoas are overrated?

[Danjoethepirate]

Wish I could grow them, they always seem to just fade away on me. Now paly's are a different story. I can't make them stop.

Anything north of $100 for a XYZ is overrated.
Every frag in my last tank was <100$ (gold torch came close)

Like. I’ve only got the basics….

brass tacks.....
Some zoas are absolutely beautiful.............
if you have a garden on your rocks and if ever you wish to get rid of said zoas good luck, they are like weeds once established

So long as mine don’t melt, I love these.

I have some zoas that are great and others that are weeds that I need to figure out how best to control without harming the corals the zoas are trying to over run

Removing zoas from rock

What would be the easiest, safest most effective way to remove all these zoas from this rock. I believe I can take the rock out of the tank. I do not want to save them just want to get rid of them as they are taking up prime real estate and want to put the rock back in. Thanks for any advice.

The repeating patterns give me the hibbie jibbies. I'm sure thats some kind of phobia. Not everything with similar patterns do but maybe the pictures I see of zoas are too close up. Plus the paly toxin part is scary. Im working in the tank often managing my naughty urchin. But the colors available are awesome.

Loved the blow torch suggestion in this thread:-). Not on that thread been leaning towards trying Kalk vs other aptasia solutions - my tank is looking really nice so mixed feelings do I try and corral them while I may still have a fighting chance or let them run and live to regret it.

Thanks for the link

My Hippo Tang doesn’t think so. He eats them like I eat ice cream.
