Nice zoas man, they look great. How are they in terms of growth? I wouldn't mind picking up one of these from a swap or something.

I would say the growth rate on these are pretty moderate 1.5 polyps/month. It has taken a little under a year to get this many from a single polyp.

:haha: Wassup C! I have had them for a little under a year say 9-10 months now. I started with a single polyp from you, Your Awesome Beardedness! 1smile1 And no, I haven't sold a single one since I've had them I have grown very attached to them. Not really looking to sell them any time soon until they cover up a chunk of live rock as a center piece. Now that you mentioned something about it I "may" be open to it... :angel:

Yeah, I agree. Before my Captain America colony decided to melt on me, they were hogs. By far the biggest eaters I've ever seen. I'd look at feeding and about 15 polyps had a mysis sticking out of its mouth. It was a cool sight for sure.

Yeah my CaptainAmerica colony also feeds on the RN OysterFeast and mysis as well. Who knew these types of corals had such a hunger for such meaty foods. Chomp Chomp...lol :ah:

I just got mine last week. It's in high light. We'll see how it does and how long it takes to have babies. I'll get some photos up soon.
