My new zoas (1 Viewer)

[kerks01]

Here's a pic of my new zoas (thanks Sneeze)! They are hanging out in a quarantine tank. Of course I irritated the one on the right side just before I took the pic. Sorry if the pic is poor, my camera is not here right now and it is the best I could get with my cell phone.

The chunk of rock in the back right has a toadstool frag. I'm not sure if I did that right, I've got pantyhose over it until it attaches.

Looks like the toadstool is going to rob a bank.....ok that was dumb time for me to go to bed.

on a side note if your going to the frag swap I will have your Fire and Ice zoos for you.

Hey, that's a really good use for an undergravel filter panel. I never woulda thought of that. Good-lookin' zoas, too.

 

[kerks01]

I got a giggle out of that one. So, did I overdo the panty hose? :gay1: First time I've tried to get something to attach itself to a rock.

I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out about the frag swap - thanks!

I did not have any egg crate. So figured the UGF propped up on 2 magfloats would work alright. I didn't want to throw the frags on the bottom of the tank. Hopefully it will work all right until whenever I pick up some egg crate. I think I'm finally getting the hang of some of this reef stuff (it's just taken me awhile).

How long does it usually take toadstool to attach itself to rock?

 

[Goldpony75]

I have seen it take a week or two. but I also think it depends on how it was fragged.

What color are the ones in the middle? They look like they could be sweet!

They are green. I like the coloring on them all, I can't wait to get some better pics of them once I get my camera back. I think I may just try to do some fragging of my own after I am done quarantining them.

Uh oh, and the downslide into reef addiction continues....

very nice sue!

Thank you very much :biggrin: After I picked them up from you I showed my sister and she was not very impressed with the "stuff" in the baggie. I had to email her some pics to show her how beautiful they are when they are in the tank.

Amphipods don't hurt them at all, do they? I got real paranoid last night when I saw these bug looking things crawling on them. I did some looking at pictures online and they are amphipods. Most people say they are fine for zoas but I found a few people say they eat zoas. Are they okay??? Or do I need to do something about them?

 

[RSnodgrass]

I have no basis for this but I believe they only bother them if the zoa is 'sick' I have a colony that has been struggling and they are all over it every night but leave the others alone.

Is there a better way to hold the toadstool to the rock? I'm happy that a few people have gotten a kick out of it. I've done plenty of silly things with my fish tanks. Finally have a picture to prove it. Can't wait until I have friends over - pantyhose in the fish tank

when i mount pie-pieces of toadstool, i take two rocks and smash the "foot" end of it inbetween them. after a week or so, it's probably holding on to both of the rocks and i just peel one away.

for small frags i use super glue, which works most of the time. for larger frags i use needle and thread and go through the base once and tie it onto a rock. you can use nylon string and just cut it off so you cant see it after it has attached.

i too had a difficult time understanding the toadstool frag in the picture until i read some more.
