Show us what you currently have in your tank! Mine is fairly new- only a few months old. I don’t have colonies but I have plenty of quality and quantity.

Some of my favorites don’t show up super well from my pics-

Mind trick
Marvin the martians
Rainbow VDM
Jurassic parks

Those don’t really show well in my pictures.
Most of the rest show up somewhat decent in photos..

What’s your favorite you currently have?What’s on your wish list?

without further ado here is mine.


For my next up wish list

OG snitches
Little house of horror
Chuckies bride
Acid reflux
Miami vice/hurricanes

Def pop on a filter from amazon. They’re $20 or less and you’ll get a lot of enjoyment out of taking nice pics. It’ll also make it easier to swap with folks when you get to that point.

First pic is looking down the display. Other pics are from my ‘over flow’ area in my sump.

Love it!! Looking good. The garden you have going on third from bottom is sweet. How long has it taken you to grow some of them out?

Those are just chunky frags that are for sale. I cut batches every month or so and sometimes I have leftovers that grow out. Most of those are no older than 2-3 months.

The ones in the display vary in age from a few years to 6-7. I trim them back every time they get close to growing off the plates.

Suffer from a major crash nearly 18 months ago and some made it through. It has taken almost a year for the Illuminati's and Aoi zoa to starts producing new heads. I have spent most of the time making adjustments to keep everyone happy.

By the looks of it you’ve definitely bounced back.

Every tank is different. What may take some 2-3 months actually can take longer depending on lighting, tank parameters, and the overall species? For God's sake, I have a 32 biocube, I make frags to create redundancy.

For those of you who have had zoos for a while, do they reproduce linearly or exponentially?

In other words, say you start with 1 zoa. Will your growth pattern over time look like this:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6...

or more like this:

1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Exponentially for the most part. Assuming a flat surface with no obstructions more polyps are going to yield more babies radiating outward while inner polyps will be done kicking out babies.
