    I grow gmk like wild fire and sell them for 50 per polyp cause this hoppy is getting out of hand with the prices 🙄

    @alexandremueller6236 3 года назад +6

    You guys should do a series of care requirements based on your experience for each zoa you have. I think that'd be such a cool series. Just little tid bit short videos with care requirements

      I agree, I would love a video like this to help me out as a newbie to the hobby, as we plan to largely keep Zoanthids in our reef tank & I would definitely benefit from a care requirements video with some guidance on which are easiest to keep ranging to more of the more difficult Zoa varieties.

    I don’t know what types of zoas they were, but I had some in my 125 reef tank, they grew over the rock. There was two rocks and two different types of zoas and then about three months after they covered the rock, they just all melted away, and everything else was doing fine in the tank so I don’t know what the issue was.

    Great video! 2nd time around collecting them! I have had GMKs 3 maybe 4 times and they all melted. I had a huge colony of speck kraks that were delivered in a bad way though and all melted. I just lost some exospheres and the others one I have right next to them are fine! My lsoh are all good! Any theorys as to what causes melting and what you can do when they start? I may have introduced some asteria! Are you saying Harlequin shrimp kills them? You should do a new video on the new ones since this! I just lost my Godbeasts UGGHH I got all of these at good prices but paid over 100 pp for those!

    For me its emeralds on fire. 1 polyp in a year! What do you think are the main reasons for colonies melting?

    • @ZoaTankBoyz
      @ZoaTankBoyz  3 года назад +1

      Emeralds on fire I’ve noticed depends on the specimen I had one that blew up and currently have one that is taking forever to grow.
      I think zoas not acclimating to reef parameters causing melting lighting etc . Typically wild zoas melt way more than cultured

    I have all those zoas and more in a Reefer 350xl. they grow like wildfire. It's all in your params. dosing helps as well. I also do not have a single aiptasia in my tank. Peppermint shrimps are good for that. Nice tank though. If I could do it again, I would most likely have better rockwork. My most prized zoa is the Stratosphere. $500~ a Polyp.
