    So I am buying a Zoa in the near future and I saw the candy apple red zoas and I can't find anywhere online to purchase them, my LFS is terrible and would be a bad decision to go through them. Does anyone know of anywhere I can get healthy zoas online?

    Also this will be my fist coral ever so any suggestions will be appreciated

    That's a pretty expensive zoa to start with. I'm would try a common one to see how it goes first in some peoples tanks they just melt away

    +1, go to your lfs and get a cheap frag with some decent looking no names zoas on it. Once you have that frag growing well and all is good then invest some money in expensive ones.

    Find a local reefer/local feeding forum who has some frags for sale.

    If they look good just get them from your LFS-just make sure you "Dip" them before adding them to your tank :)

    Really? That's good to know. Il go to my LFS after work ad see if they have any, I wish I could find a local reefer but there's noone around where I'm at.

    How do I dip them?
