    thanks everyone, i'm super excited saturday is a long way away though :) last time i looked at their frags they had a bright green zoa, but i'll look more closely this weekend, lol i think i'll be tempted to buy more than one frag, at $5 a frag it will be pretty hard to only buy one

    Make sure you get zoas and not palys which look like larger zoas. I've had a hard time with green palys for some reason.

    the frags aren't labled, so i'm hoping i'll get the correct coral, i wont get into palys for a while, just zoas. Hmm maybe they'll have other zoas but the green ones had nice coloring

    There are green zoas too. Palys are essentially bigger zoas. I have some purple ones that are spreading but I bought a rock covered with green ones as one of my first corals if not the first and they just disappeared one by one. More recently I purchased a frag plug with some and those didn't make it either. It may be just my tank I don't know.

    I'm sure they'll be fine. Go for it.
