how long have you been collecting zoas


I have had a salt water fish tank for 20+ years since my roommate in college got me hooked. I shifted to reefs about 7 or 8 years ago, and I decided to collect zoas at the beginning of 2012. Up to that point the only zoa I ever had or saw were eagle eyes. Looks like I placed by first order with vivid April 2012. I bought 5 different kind of polyps in that order, and 4 of them are still alive today.

I bought
2 Lunar Eclipse, which were eaten by hermit crabs within days of arrival
2 purple death, I now have multiple frags with close to 50+ polyps in total
10 hulk zoanthids. This has been a slow grower but I probably have 20 today
2 royal palys. nearly melted away on more than one occasion. Today they are doing great, I have 2 separate colonies of about 10-15 each.
2 spiderman zoanthids. This melted away I thought it was gone for sure, but it's still alive today, there are 10-15 tiny but spectacular looking polyps making their way back.


I will post some pics
