MR DBTC Zoa

I would love to share some of my prettier zoas. I'm not in to names so I will post pic's of what I am talking about. Depending on interest I will try to have 3 frags of 3 or so polyps.
All I ask is:
1) If I should ever loose mine that you would graciously give me the very next frag you have available.
2) That you share with all others interested in the piece you get from me. Please do not sell them, or trade them.
3) Please post here any updates. For example when you frag, and to who you have given the frag to.

Zoas are pretty easy to care for, especially these. These zoa were among the first I received as gifts from other's here back in Feb.,2007, and have spread quite nicely. They are kept in a mixed reef (mostly lps/softies with a heavy fish load) under 3 - 175 watt 10k with 1 super actinic & 1 white actinic VHO bulbs. I do weekly w/c, and I dose B-Ionics 1 & 2 daily via Aquamedic Duo Doser.

I think their names are as follow:
1st. pic as per scumonkey "Chocolate Mint" they are brown with brown skirts, and mint green centers.
2nd. pic I believe to be "Triple Red" all red - skirt, center & flesh.
I have no idea what the 3rd. one is. sorry

Many of us have. It's good to foreground it and formalize it a little though. A lot of good will gets sullied in the rough and tumble world of the MR market place LOL.

Absolutely! Guess it is just an unfortunate part of life. I like to think that for every bad apple there 100 good ones. I know I have been blessed by quite a few here.

I'm not quite clear on the DBTC, but do I have to give something to get something?

On the zoas Awilda, do they need to be under MH? I only have T5s.

Thanks.

Read the statement of purpose. You get something if the offerer feels you are the person they want to give to AND you agree to their "pay it forward" terms OR you give something because it is good to share

tsinkoy, you don't have to give to receive. What I require is for you to give when they grow out in your set up, and not sell them. And if by some disaster I should loose my little colony I would very much like for you to give me the next available frag.
I believe T5 are fine for zoas.

Great! In that case Awi, I'll gladly take some from you if you'd like to give it to me.
