Where can I find the info on which zoas grow faster?Polyp polynomial: How many heads do you start with when buying zoas?
Have you noticed zoanthids (often called zoas) being sold one head (sometimes called polyps) at a time or sometimes with heads that are far less than full size? How do you feel about this? Some may appreciate the chance to get a chance to get an unusual zoa especially if the price per polyp is high. Other people may look for the rock that hosts an entire zoa colony, while still others look for zoas for sale that have between three and five polyps. Please tell us what you expect when you are shopping for zoas. How many heads do you start with when buying zoas?
Pro Tip: Not all zoas grow at the same pace and some varieties can even outcompete other types for space. If you are buying fewer heads then consider selecting faster growing and faster replicating zoa varieties.

That's ridiculous! Are you serious?Speaking of insane prices, would you be interested in some scrambled eggs for $125? If so, my LFS has you covered haha
pfft pocket change.Speaking of insane prices, would you be interested in some scrambled eggs for $125? If so, my LFS has you covered haha
I don't buy one pollup zoas. I think the costs for one pollup zoas are insane and I don't see the rational to pay those prices. Just starting with them and the ones I have grow really slow or melt when I have just one, money wasted.Polyp polynomial: How many heads do you start with when buying zoas?

it’s all about control of supply and demand. Rare Zoa’s will sell per polyp to keep it rare as possible and only the best reefers will keep it alive for it to thrive in their tank.
So, does someone have a catalog of what's rare and what's not? Does the catalog have pictures that can validate you are really buying lollipops instead of candy canes? Does the catalog rate which ones grow fast and which ones melt? If anyone is trashing excess zoas from their tanks there's a bunch of us out here that would like to experience that problem. Gladly pay for shipping for some colonies you are throwing away.it’s all about control of supply and demand.

Zoa’s sold in a colony isn’t as attractive or rare.
