fastest Zoa growth??

    So im thinking about ordering about a dozen different harder to find zoas from vivid aquariums, Some are quite expensive so only going to buy 1 polyp of some of them.  I will be putting them in a 29gal biocube with only them maybe a few other soft corals. So my question is what is the best way to get them to grow the fastest? The zoas I have in my reef tank are target fed brine shrimp once a week and the tank is fed with phytoplankton 2x a week. They seam to be growing good with a few new polyps a week.  But I just want to know if there is a better way to feed them or anything like that to increase growth.  Thanks in advance

    I have mixed luck with higher end zoas, some do well others melt. But I have taken to feeding mine spectrum pellets recently and seems to me they grow fairly well this way

    Just incase you didn't know....single polyp frags for zoas have a far higher mortality rate than a frag of two or three polyps. I ordered a bunch of higher end zoas a few years back and had a heck of a time with ever single polyp frag I bought. Ended up loosing most of them. Also check from site to site, some places "rare" corals are actually not as rare as they make them out to be. I've honestly had better luck buying packs from different folks locally or on Rc....good healthy stuff at usually cheap prices

    Thanks for the replies I kinda figured single polyps would be more difficult sense they are just by themselves. I may have to spend the extra $$ I guess. I'd love to buy locally but just cant ever find anyone with some of the kinds I'd like to start with. Just everyday common varieties.
