How fast do your zoas grow? What do you attribute your growth too?
Everyone's zoanthids grow at a different rate so how many polyps do you average in a month? What do you attribute to your growth rate? What do you think you can do to speed up the growth? We can let you in on some of our secrets!
Funny y’all mention rastas… It’s one of my fastest growers in my tank.
My Rastas are super slow growers. But my lfs said they liked higher flow so I moved them. 3 new polyps in 2 months…still slow growers but polyps are bigger and brighter.
I’m new to reek keeping as well but on some no name zoas that I picked up from a lfs I’ve gotten around 5-6 new heads popping up after about a month and a half. On my Rasta zoas, I’ve had them for about a month and I’ve only gotten a single new polyp popping out.
I think it depends on the zoa, and the tank. I have seen 10 to 20 new polyps on my. King midas frag in the same time my utter chaos grew 3. My AOIs haven’t popped a new head at all in about the same amount of time. I do feed reef energy every 2 days, and I have seen faster growth from it
Newer into it. But after about 2 months I’ve seen a about 5 new polyps on a mixture of 3 different Zoa frags
