Zoo's!!!!!!!

I am very interested in zoo's because of the beautiful colors I have seen. However, I have yet to see an aquarium that has established zoo's on them. It seems that everyone I see has a frag with like 6 heads/polyps. Someone please post a picture of a rock covered in zoos in their own tank or from somewhere online.

Re: Zoo's!!!!!!!

In addition, I am guessing that most zoa's come on a rock of some sort. Is there any way to get them off the rock they are on and onto the rock I want them on. I have this one rock that is kind of like a mohawk in between large rocks on the sides where I would love to have zoa's all over it, but I dunno if there would be a way to put another rock on top of it without it looking like crappage.

Re: Zoo's!!!!!!!

I have a few frags in my tank, and only glued one on a rock and it took the whole rock over which is about 5x4. You can cut and peel them off of the rock to make other frags. It is very easy to do. I just fragged two kinds of zoa's and took a another frag and glued them by each other on a big shell so hopfully when they grow out I will have a diverse mixture on the shell. It will be pink ones, kryptonit, and sweet colored zoanthids. Can't hardly wait.

Re: Zoo's!!!!!!!

If you're looking for whole colonies than look at the ''Diver's Den'' section at Liveaquaria.com.You could always buy frags that are attach to plugs.Glue them to that rock you like and in no time they will spread and you will never even see the plug.Mixing a bunch of different zoo frags would be cool too.

Re: Zoo's!!!!!!!

Here is my favorite zoa rock. This picture was taken when I first bought it (about 2 years ago). All of the zoas have spread all over the place now and it's much nicer, but I don't have a new pic:
