Hey, so i am back here, and i was reading an article saying that you can slit the base of the zoa, not the head, but the lowest part attached to the rock with a razor blade and theres a good chance that one will sprout. Is this true?.... I also read something about fragging... Like when you frag a zoa into a group with a couple heads, it will grow new ones quickly, but once it hits about 20 or more, it will slow a bit..... Is this true? I would like to try it but i dont want to go cuting up all my corals..... Any imput on this?

I'm sure it has been done but that doesn't mean it will work every time or is a good Idea. I once pulled a frag plug off my rock not realizing that part of my sunny d's were attached to both. One polyp ripped right down the middle, head and all. From that half polyp I now have several.

From what Ive seen the more zoanthids in the colony the faster it will grow. However with the different speeds zoanthids all grow at, you'd have to compare zoanthids that are the exact same

Ok, little update. I have been feeding 3 times a week (sometimes 4) blended mysis, blood worms, and brine and i have noticed 2 little new heads out of my bright green and orange zoas, 1 smallish to my mint chocolate chips, 1 to my tiny sky blue and purple ones and 0 to my fire and ice all in 3 weeks exactly. Very gret start 1 question- i leave my lights on 8 ish hours a day, If i leave them on a little longer, will that helpwith growth? And ho long do you guys usually leave your lights on?

For me, most of my Zoas took about 5 months to settle in, yielding 0-few new heads. I only dose with PhytoFeast and Fuel and do about 5 gals of water change on my 65 gal tank/sump EVERY Sat. though most seem to be slow starters, once they get going they just go and go and go.... and go. I started out with about 15 heads among 3 colonies, I now have about 300+ not including the ones I have given away or sold. Mine have produced so many that I have been able to experiment with placement and lighting conditions without the fear of unnecessary loss. So far, my conclusion is med-high flow, and med-high light and as with most corals/inverts/fish stability and consistency will tend to produce desirable results.
I'm only about 2 years into the coral game, so for all of you with more experience than me, feel free to give me some pointers as well.
