How do you stop zoas from spreading?
Cut it up and sell as frags or sell the whole thing. Next time, keep them isolated from your rock structure to control them is the best. Only Alternative I can think of is to place rubble rock around the perimeters as the spread to the rubble, replace the rubble and sell it as a frag.
Can zoas handle high flow?
While zoas can adjust to different levels of flow I wouldn’t suggest keeping it directly in front of a power head long term. Could be something irritating the zoas, maybe a dip is in order. Sometimes zoas take a while to adjust and acclimate as well.

How do I make my zoas bigger?
Zoa addict Making polyps bigger has to do with lighting and placement. Get a par meter, in my tank at around 100-150 par everythin is bigger. But some like vivid rainbows like 300 par to be bigger. Bloodshots get bigger at 60-75 par.

Valuable Member. People have had zoas grow on coarser/larger grain sand.
How fast will zoas spread?
After they take a week or two to get acclimated to the tank I see the beginning of new polyps anywhere from every week to every month but on my small colonies that’s only 1 or 2 polyps, on my slightly larger ones that could be 3-4 polys in the same time period and unless something changes its going to go exponentially …
What are the best conditions to keep Zoas in a tank?
Keep the temperature approximately 78 degrees Fahrenheit. The salinity should be between 1.024 and 1.026 specific gravity. Hardiness between 8 to 12 dKH, and the pH between 8 and 8.4. If you can keep the water conditions between those lines, I am confident that you will have healthy zoas in your reef tank.
Why won’t my Zoas open up?
