Zoanthids vs. Acropora: Which Coral Gets Your Vote?

[Borat]

I vote for toadstool - it looks pretty after a few shots of vodka..

 

[shakacuz]

acros! i went from a mixed reef to mostly sps dominant

Everyone in my family knows the smell of acropora.

Your suppose to dose the tank not your belly. Lol

Zoanthids grow so fast, and come in such variety. I like the gratification gained from fragging Zoanthids at a fast rate, which can also sell at the same price frags of Acropora sell, which grows slower if you were to be propagating acropora.
I think they're both great anyway hehe.

Zoa's are a pain in the *** in a mature tank just as encrusting corals do. They cover rocks in a blink of an eye and you can hardly control them.
Lots of reefers start with zoa's and lps but end up in the acropora zone.
Acropora love for me without a doubt!

I have zoas in my tank and they are through the 6th dose of death juice to kill them (yes - they are so resilent that nothing seems to stop them)... When I was a newbie - i was really proud that my zoas lived as long as they did (not very long) - and now I am hoping to be able to eliminate those zoas as they keep growing like garden weeds in every possible place, despite my best effots to kill them..

I used to like Zoe's when I first started 13 years ago. I have since gone to an SPS tank. I have some eagle eye's that I can't kill. I take the rocks out and scrape them clean, Put Franks Aiptasia on them they just keep coming back.

I guess we can crown ACROS the winner!

 

[Sump Crab]

Neither…

acros are way to picky for me to even consider trying and zoas can potentially kill you lol

Who made you you owner administrator! Oh, sorry, never mind

Def wasn’t club zoa! :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Zoas deserve a second chance here, we need a recount

 

[Reefer Matt]

Oh @revhtree , how can you do this to me? It's like choosing a favorite child! :grinning-squinting-face:
On the one hand, there is the very colorful button polyps I started on, and learned to frag from.
On the other, are the mesmerizing sticks that I built so much pride in being able to keep!
It's a wash for me, I keep plenty of both on hand, and can't get enough of them! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

This sounds like reef politics we definitely need more than 2 parties...

As long as it's not the leather party..... Just saying

 

[Roatan Reef]

Voted zoas. Haven't been able to grow acros yet, but having some initial luck with an anacropora!

Anacropora is awesome...started with a tiny frag,,now it's a huge bush, and have 3 frags growing.

Leather…go on

 

[Epic Aquaculture]

Hmmm... I think I'll go with Acro's

 

[Roatan Reef]

I'm team both...you can't hate on Zoas, for the ease of growth and great colors, but Sticks are awesome too
