Zoa Spotlight: Fruit Loops!

ImageUploadedByREEF2REEF1403719286.248063.jpg

Some JPS fruit loops for ya
 
One of my favorites. Very delicate though, have a very hard time fragging. They grow well under high light low flow for me.

 
One of my favorites super bright and little really looks like fruit loops. Just be careful when u frag will melt fast.
 
When I got mine it had 7 polyps. The original owner said it won't grow and hasn't in his tank in months. It started to grow new polyps for me almost instantly. Then 2 polyps got eaten. Took a few weeks and growth has taken off again. Here it is some very bad pictures sorry guys.

I'm an acro guy but I'm gonna crash your zoa party because I really like these. Took me a couple tries but I've got a little colony going:

 
High flow, medium light for me, got mine a few weeks ago with about 20 polyps, prolly pretty close to 27-30 now. Very pretty, and seems to be a super fast grower.
 
I'll have to take a picture of mine tomorrow. I don't have many. They grow spoon slow for me. Then again they have never really had a stable home they are in the frag rack they will get blown away and be in the sand for a day or 2. I had these for a few months before they were big enough to see with the naked eye. So small not sure how they fragged them. I have probably grown over 300 purple hornets in the time I have grown 20 fruit loops
 
Awesome zoas. I currently have mine near the sandbed in a 15 gallon with a 150DE Phoenix bulb and a MP10ES Vortech. Mid flow and high light, but the growth is very slow for mine. The first fruit loops I had started out great and then melted away after fragging them. Thank goodness the ones I fragged are still growing, just very very slow.

Does anyone target feed their zoanthids? Any benefits from target feeding zoas?

Cheers,
Alex
