Idea for Zoa Garden on Conch Shell

[mgoesma]

So I have an old Conch Shell that a found some time back. I have cleaned it and put it in my aquarium. my idea is to make it into a Zoa garden. Has anyone ever attempted anything like this? Any suggestions?

I haven't seen this done on a Conch shell, but my LFS had a skull about the size of a softball in one of their tanks that was covered in zoanthids. It looked pretty cool, especially since they would prune the polyps where the eyes, nose & mouth were.

I'm excited hopping to start in the next couple weeks adding them. i'm hopping to add 5 or 6 different colors.

I bought a small colony of some nonamers wasn't till the next day I noticed it was all on a bivalve that was still alive here's a pic you can see it attached to the back wall bottom right you can see it opened slightly sadly the zoas melted off and it died like 6 months later but was pretty neat anyways

How do u remove the zoa from the plug?

Look close and see if the zoas are stuck to something that is then glued to the plug.
