    Anyone else have eagle eye zoas that just grow like crazy?! I put a small frag in about a month ago and I already have 5-6 new heads three just opened the other day. Sorry for excitement lol first time actually growing corals and not just maintaining them

    Yea, I have eagle eyes too and they are growing like MAD! They have pretty much trippled (or more) in size and ammount of polyps in 4 months! If you meet their needs, it is amazing how fast they grow! I had mine under T5's for the longest time, then downsized my tank and now have them under PC and their growth slowed down just a little. I added an blue LED strip to the lighting and they are taking off again! If they are growing that well in your tank then it's a great sign you have a well established and healthy aquarium! Enjoy them!

    I have a couple different types of zoa's/paly's. Nothing too exotic. I would say my eagle eyes and nuclear greens are the current growth record holders. I had to move both off the frag rack and onto the bottom cause they grew off the frag rack & were attaching to the rack.

    Just to clarify when I say nuclear green paly's:

    not radioactive eyes or whatever name the green zoa's get this week.
