Ok, well i was lookin at how beautiful the zoas on the neo paly thread and i suggested that we should all contribute to them since they can cost 100 dollars or so for just one polyp
So my idea was to have someone (like reefkprZ or anyone i think we could all trust) and has nice stable tanks along with shipping and fragging experience. To give the money we save up to, and they would buy the frag keep it in their tanks, and once there are more heads frag them and send them to the people that contributed.
Some problems that i can think of right off the bat, i think we should have a couple of zoas to vote on that we would like, what are we going to do about shipping? are we just going to have to pay shipping too?
if the frag should die it wouldnt be 100 dollars down the drain instead the more people we have the less it could be 10 people would only be around 10 dollars 20 people would be around 5 dollars if the frag was 100 dollars to begin with.
Any thoughts, opinions, etc etc are very welcome. If you are interested post some pics of expensive zoas you may be interested in and someone could put together a poll for it. Maybe we could try 3-5 different kinds if there are enough people for it wanting them.
Please do not post pics of zoas that are cheap or common, we are looking for expensive zoas that no one really sees around

i think its a hella good idea, except for the fact that zoas take a long time to grow.

o ya that was also one of my concerns i forgot, i am unsure how fast it takes them to grow, how long would u say for it to take a zoa to become 5 zoas?

It sounds like a great idea, I would definatly be in !!
Also shipping supplies, the person who agrees to take on the task of growing these guys in their frag tanks, will need shipping supplies, fuel costs to get the the P.O. some other minor expenses etc...
Not sure of those actual expenses but just a thought on how to rectify that. The chosen one that grows these corals doesnt have to contribute any $$. They obviously get a portion of the coral even multiple polyps. Just somthing extra for their time and expertise anf generosity...
Just thought...

I have a good idea!If a group would make a list of high end zoas/palys that everone likes and everyone buy one of each and then exchange the first frag and then just keep trading with the group everyone whould get some nice stuff cheap.I do this with a few local friends and it works great.Just a thought!Anyways I have few nice zoas/palys I would be glad to trade as soon as I can get the first frag off of these.Anyways the last ones was sold to me as sunflowers but I was told they look like bumble bees.If anyone has a picture of bumble bees please post.No they are not bleached jokers.Let me know and I would be glad to help out.

I'm in too! How would you pay the person who is going to care for our gold...I mean Zoa's?
May I suggest Paypal. If everyone was to get a paypal account then we could just send the money right over to him/her. With paypal you can even pay with a credit card or even your checking account.
I agree that whom ever we get should not pay for anything as their time and effort will be worth any money they would have to chip in.
LETS DO IT

Everyone who is on here alot and knows everyone else should make a list of potential "QB'S". Then PM them to see if they are up to it. It should be someone who doesnt sell a lot of stuff here IMO. But then again they might just be the ones to do it.
anyway "they" need to be asked.
