    I bought some Zoanthiads today that are tiny. Anybody ever seen any zoas that are really tiny? I know a pic would help and I will get one up ASAP. They have really kewl individual colored heads that are reds, browns, greens, and yellowish in color.

    Yes, I got some with some mushrooms, they are no more than 1/8" in diameter.

    Cool, now if they will just grow into a mat instead of neat little rows. Think the shrooms might have something to do with that.

    my zoas are small but they have been growing in heads to where one of mine has turned from a few zoa heads to a colony :) so they will eventually make up for their small size

    They are kinda spread out but you can see all the different colors.

    I think the shrooms are causing that due to the way they are positioned on the rock. Hopefully they take off because they are the tiniest I have seen.
