How fast to Zoa's Grow?

[dedecv3]

Say I buy a frag with 3-5 Polyp's. How long until I would have a nice sized colony of 20-30 Polyp's?? What all effects growth rate??

It all depends on the type zoas.

+1 and the lights and the food in the water current as well.

Assuming optimal conditions & food. How fast will a fast growing specimen grow and how slow will a slow growing specimen grow?? What are some of the faster growing breeds??

I'm no expert, just started with a reef tank about 10 weeks ago. I've had a small colony of about 12 polyps s in my tank for 4 weeks and there's 3-5 new ones. I have 150MH lights and have been keeping the nitrates at zero through water changes. Not sure if this is fast or slow but it's a little better than I expected.

Cheap zoas grow fast....expensive zoas grow slow....
Sorry, but it's true.
