I know how you feel lol I have certain ones that grow out then melt then grow back out then melt and so on lol. I have 1 magician and ive had 1 magician for 6 months lol it will not grow. I have certain ones that will pop a baby and it will die pop another and it will die zoas and palys are weird

 

[got2envy]

Def weird. So I dedicated this tank and combined allll my zoas and paly's so that I can keep a better eye on them.
I have some that are weeds...I still have about 5 polyps of the magicians left :(

Thanks for looking!
