    In my opinion you should buy zoas based on what you like. They grow fairly fast, so this months hot zoas is next week's ten dollar frag

    I got me a frag of halle berry today! I love any coral that is pink! I was bidding on WWC on ebay and on your new video you mentioned aoi so I won the bid on some of them. Not that impressed at all. If it had a bright skirt then it would be amazing espially since you dont see many blues in reef tanks! I also picked up scrambled eggs because I have no yellow ones and they are beautiful for yellow, much nicer then kind midas! I also got another rasta because mine died in a crash a while back along with my sunny d's so I picked some of those up as well! I bid on one of their auction just because I couldt find a neon green stemmed duncan and i ended up winning 17 corals! haha. I would say I got carried away! I live in Florida so shipping is only 20 bucks plus they let me hold order for a week and participate in the following weeks auction so thats why I got so many!

    I got a colony of like 80 zoos, gorgeous, for $80 bucks here in Daytona. And in a few weeks polyps died, got algae, fell off, shriveled. I still have maybe over 40 polyps that look killer. I manually feed using FUEL and some zooplankton. If I brush these half dead algae covered polyps, will the rest of the colony grow back? It came on a palm sized rock.

    • @MadHattersReef
      @MadHattersReef  2 года назад +1

      Zoa are zoanthids, polyps can also mean zoanthids (also, LPS, SPS, corallites) but is often used to loosely in the hobby.

      When you buy straight off the website you pay a little more. Try to find one of their live sales on Reef2Reef you’ll save some money. Hint, hint they are have one towards the end of the month.

      WWC has higher prices but they are probably one the top 5 dealers in the US. They often have epic sales throughout the year where you can grab corals for way under retail price.

      Not as high as much as the superstar zoanthid but is still high. You’re much better off to support your LFS when ever you can but WWC has really good sale throughout the year.

    Emperor Zoas look fliping amazing and go for $2000+ I don't know who would spend that much but, I would love to have some if they were cheaper. They are not my favorite though because they are so $$. I like utter chaos zoas. They look cool and are affordable for how good they look.

    @atfinthehouse8631 6 лет назад

    Just an FYI, it isn’t infected with palytoxins, it is a poison not an organism. It is exposure. It is a very potent neurotoxin. Use gloves, face shields, clean surfaces exposed very carefully. If fragging in tank, run carbon and do water change right afterwards.

    • @MadHattersReef
      @MadHattersReef  6 лет назад

      Medium flow is best for zoanthids. Just like most corals they need flow to keep debris off them as well as push waste away and bring nutrients in.
