    what all did you end up getting p? just the zoas? they most likely will start to show some signs of opening within a few hours at least. would imagine one thing to look for is , are the actually polyp pods standing up , not crushed or looking really droopy.

    Ya its just the zoa's. He threw in an extra frag, looks like about 8 heads. Hmmm some of them are really distinguishable, but on one end its hard to tell. They are pretty small, but for 11 bucks there worth it.

    Ok just an update. Got home from work and all the polyps are extended and they are all opened up. Looking great so far. :)

    Did you get them attached? You can attach them by loosely wrapping a rubber band around them and a piece of rubble. Then when you decide where you want it in your tank you can glue the rubble in place if you want. What colors did you get?

    I got the mars something Zoa's, there florescent green in the middle with purple polyps, then it looks like he threw in some Hulk Zoa's he had listed to. Now that there open the mars have about 19 heads, and the others about 16 heads. Seeing how they where listed for 10 heads looks like I got quite a few extra. They are really small, but from what I read they grow and spread pretty fast. Very happy with the order. I wedged the frag plugs into a little piece of rock low in the tank. Once they get used to the new lighting ill try moving them up and then glue them into their permanent home. :)
