yes i do and IMO super glue works great. but i prefer to take two rocks and place the frag in the middle of them. then rubber band the small rocks together. it will grow on both rocks. then a few weeks later slice them apart and you have two out of the one frag

Oceana, Thanks for that bit of info. That will work out perfect and give me another toadstool to swap later on.

that's impressive....i'm definitely coming over to do some shopping if that's ok, since you live so close

Oceana,
What are you doing with all your frags? Always interested in getting new zoo color morphs and the LFS in the Bay area, which I am sure you are aware, are pretty limited.

Ags,
I'm just curious as to what stores you go to locally.....i don't like the service i get at the one i go to in South Tampa, but not sure what other ones are any good.....

I trade and/or sell the frags to offset the cost of this hobby. I am aware of the limited availability of the supercolored ones locally, that's why I started growing them out in the first place. If you're interested in coming by and seeing what I have, you are welcome to.
you can EMAIL ME and we'll set up a time that you can come by, it's always nice to meet the locals

Thats cool.. can I get a up close pic so I can see some of the frags? please? thanks?

 

[oceana]

I just finished breaking up a few of the larger rocks and messing around in there so many of them are closed right now -I'll try to take a shot from the top tomorrow when everything looks happy again.
there are lots of pics of the individual zoas HERE

Those are some beautiful zoas. It made my husband drool :hilarious
We don't get much variety here at my LFS.

What do you feed these zoa? Do they need to be spot feed? I have 300w MH in a 46 gallon. Oh and i sent you an email

Cool. I cant wait to get them. You should have mail.

One more question. What do you recommend for acclimation time?

I bet the store you are unhappy with is on S. Dale Mabry near Shells. Right? Extremely overpriced and the store has undergone several changes in management. Not sure who owns it now as the previous owner still hangs around. However, so far I am impressed with their new setup.
I frequent Westside Pets (best prices, infrequent stock items, questionable water quality), Finz/Creative Oceans (see above description), Marine Warehouse (rarely, if ever, buy live stock from them, bargain bin is second to none) and Fish & Other Itchy Stuff (hands down the cleanest, healthiest sytem in the bay area, moderately priced, owner is a bit of an ass but he definitely knows his stuff). If you buy anything from Westside I suggest getting there on shipment day (Friday) and buying only if it hasn't been placed in display tanks. This is especially true of fish.
Based on your screen name I assume you are military and living on or near the base. I live just North of Gandy off Westshore and all the of LFS I listed are within 20 minutes of South Tampa.
If you have any other questions let me know

Oceana,
Don't mean to freepost all over your thread.....
Ags,
Westside is good, really honest guy running it......i've never gone to marine warehouse.....finz force fed me the yellow tang and engineer goby which i'm in the process of taking out since my tank is so small....also i live just south of gandy on westshore.......send me an email sometime at thompson_usmc@hotmail
