It depends on the type of zoa and conditions.
I have four or five bam bam orange zoas I bought about a month back that have yet to sprout another, but then I have two cotton candy paly polyps purchased at the same time that already have 4 babies sprouting out. Only time will tell.

i have 2x 175watt MH and 2x96 watt actinics ,,,,,,the MH are on for 8 1/2 hours a day with actinics on for 12......2 maxi-jet power heads and good water quality.....0 ammonia and nitrite, 5ppm of nitrate, and good calcium and phosphate.....
the single zoa could still spread right? or does there need to be more than one? im guessint they spread more quickly with more than one but i wonder if they still can spread alone

they will spread with just one it just seems longer due to the fact no colony to help sustaine life. hang in there it will split and you will have plenty one day
Good luck

I have noticed that same thing. SOme reproduce faster then other and some take a while and then they explode with a ton of babies. I have some nuc green paly's and for about 3 months I only had one and then one day I looked at the bottom and there was about 5 babies in the bottom. The zoas that I have seem to grow way fast. they cover everything but they do grow at different rates acording to the zoa. Good luck

Some of them grow like weeds some kinds don't. I have had frags that took forever to spread and other grow like wildfire. Decent flow and good lighting is all that they seem to need. Here is a frag of "Tubs-Blues" I got from "Fidel" on the 24th of September with around 20 or so polyps.
I thought the Diamond was about to hide them, so I put them in a little glass cup with substrate for the first week or so before gluing them in place. Now there is a ball of them with almost 45 of them just over a month latter.... Warren

Hey big, I got some of those from Fedel too. They are definitely one of my favorites.

Yes he is, he paid extra shipping to get mine here over night, after it starting getting cold here. I think mine ended up being about a dollar a polyp after he paid the extra shipping out of his pocket. A Long distance "Reefer" friend forever.........
