zoos not growing

reefyredfish · 02/05/2010, 06:46 AM

I've had some nice orange and green zoos for about 6 mths. and
they don't seem to be growing. In fact I recently movede them down
to my refuge. I placed them on some rubble hoping they will spread.
I'm feeding them much more now thinking that will help. The lights
int top are two 250 w MH 120 w PC actinic. But in the refuge I have
one of those small 18 w pc.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

We have had a few colonies of zoas as well as others that simply would not thrive or grow. However, it seems like every one of them eventually started to grow perfectly. I had a blasto colony that stayed at 3 heads for a year or better, then it seemed to have grown twice it's size in a week and it is still growing. Not really an answer but thought you would like to know.
