How long before zoas start to spread

[hawk82]

Ive had some for 2 months now, and they still just have 8 polyps. They open up everyday and look good, but no new growth yet.

If they're fed and happy, you'll have some babies popping up soon. Patience is key, the only change that really comes fast in the reefing world is a crash

If you don't really like them, 24 hrs. If you paid too much and love them, 2 years.

Thats too funny! Try feeding them if you're not right now and it might get things moving. Zoas all grow at different rates. Some fast, some suuuuper slow. All depends on what you have.

Do you know what type you have? Like the name of them? That will probably help us give you a time frame for spreading. I got a bunch of zoas all at the same time from the same dude and every single on has doubled except for the blue hornet... still only one polyp of that. Reefroids should help you though!

some zoas dont grow as fast I have one thats has grown 4 polyps in 3 weeks and one that hasnt grown in a month

The ones I have that grow faster are in higher light. Lower light grows slower. I saw an increase in growth rate when I started broadcast feeding Brightwell Coralaminos. I still typically only get a couple of new polyps a month. Bigger colonies grow faster than single polyps or small colonoies.

The ones I have are pandemic, pink cocos, and cat eye. Not seen any new growth from them yet.

I think all corals have what I call "sleep periods", they seem to be the same forever and then one day, BOOM, they start to grow and grow they do. Then for no reason at all they decide to "sleep" again for awhile. Just keep being a good water keeper and they will reward you.

Using Red Sea AB+ seems to help with my zoa growths
