    Yea. They are really easy zoas. They are eagle eyes. Not all zoas are easy to keep. You may be able to keep one type but then others will die off. Like for me, my eagle eyes and those brown and blue ones (I call them tubbs blue knock offs lol) do very well but I tried keeping orange bambams once and they all melted away. I haven't tried any other zoas though. I may sometime in the future. Lol

    Other tank??? My freshwater? That's the only other tank I had. But I tore it down. Just way too boring lol And I was using tap water so there was a lot of algea and I didn't want to waste the good water on the freshwater tank lol. I may sometime possibly this winter make that tank (5gal) a zoa and star polyp, possibly blue snowflake tank. They can all grow in close proximity to eachother for the most part and I think it would look awesome!

    I think it was a really great upgrade. I didnt realize you had so many birdsnest corals. Great clown pic!
