    how long does it take zoas to reproduce?
    just curious.
    i've been trying to look up polyp behavior but i haven't found a timeline if there is one.

    thanks everyone!

    depends on the polyp the water and the light. It always varies. Just wait it out and see. post pics if ya can.

    Occasional feedings will help it along, but coldshot is right. It's really dependant on the individual.

    for me the more flow and light my zoas get the faster they reproduce. But it also depends on water quality
