markdadof2 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Jay - it is a great set up, I would not change much about it if anything SO FAR, I have 4 of 5 polyps open on my competition frag. Hopefully #5 opens soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 4 polyps open...the 5th has never opened and at this point I don't think it will :( Hrmph. It was THE ONLY zoa polyp NOT open in my tank today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brokenzoa Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 nice. What happened to the 2 that fell off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 They fell about 1.5" below the frag...so I am still counting them in the comp. they are amongst my bam-bam zoanthids and doing fine. I will try and get a picture. *edit* in the pictures above you can see the two that fell into the orange bam-bams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
