Fruit loops!

[scubakid3]

Second post today! I got a few small polyps of fruit loops (which look awesome) and i currently have them under an 8 watt nuvo light. Are these slow growers? I would love to see these spread. I'll try and get a picture up later.

They're good growers

[dstacy121]

I've had 1 new polyp in 2 months on a frag I just got...however it was also cut the day before I bought it. I'm expecting it to pick up and they are awesome!

[650-IS350]

wait till it fully heals settles on your frag and tank. you'll see better growth rates.

[aandfsoccr04]

I don't think they are exceptionally fast growers. They are decent in my tank.

[ReefAddict123]

kind of slowi n my tank but very awesome colors and once they take off they are beautiful in small groups!

[wakeboy180]

I have some in my tank and they seem to be fairly fast growers compared to others I have. Once you get a small colony going they really look great in a tank.

I got a frag with 5 heads about 3 months ago...i have around 22 heads today! Very fast growers in my tank

This picture is of my frag with about 15 heads...now it has around 22

[scubakid3]

Mine look exactly like those. There are 3 heads under 8 watt LEDs

[650-IS350]

As long as parameters are stable, good lighting and no predators, Z's and P's do start getting good growth ( IN GENERAL ) once they stabilize in your tank.

[scubakid3]

Yeah, my red people eaters have really taken off in the last month. The only thing i don't expect growth from are my rastas. They're only in there temporarily.

[scubakid3]

3 weeks and no growth yet. This is going to take a while.

I never had luck with these guys in the past. They'd be doing just fine and all the sudden they would melt on me. Happened three different times to me but I'd still give them another shot for sure. One of my favorite zoas.

They're one of the most random zoas I've ever dealt with too.
I had a 50 polyp frag, cut them into 5 head frags. lost 2 sets of them, sold 7. I let all of them heal in my tank for 2 weeks before I sold them. When they went into someone else's tank it was like 3days of healthy extension and next thing you know bam, gone.

As for growth, my 5 polyp head is currently 12 heads. They're slower than some of the other zoas I've dealt with, but I think in general they're okay growers. Faster than hornets though

[19jeffro83]

Yeah they're tough ones for sure. Way to post at 4:20 ihigh lol.

[ihigh]

^ haha I just saw that!
Funniest part is ihigh doesn't mean for it to be "high"
my name is hai, which is pronounced hi/high so "ihigh" like iPOD, ising, etc. creative? not!

[scubakid3]

I have heard so many mixed things about these zoas i don't know what to think. I would post a picture if i knew how to.

[Overgrown]

Crazy fast growers and love high light!

Verry creative, I just thought it a funny coincidence.

They've grown pretty fast for me thus far... almost double the size since I got them end of November.

Mine are pretty high up in the tank... about 250 par under leds. Which is not a lot so maybe they'd grow even faster...

[scubakid3]

It's strange, my rastas have been growing well, but I haven't got a single polyp for the fruit loops. I need to learn how to post pictures in replys...

[knukles55]

anyone know if Sunny D's are slow growers?

[650-IS350]

Fast for me....... for sunny Ds

[Techbiker]

My sunny ds and the fruitloops, growth a decent ration, had a frag with 2 polips of the fruitloops, very small, after 6 weeks, I have 6 polips, but all of them very small

[Freddie83]

They should grow fairly quick like others have said.

Finally, a picture. They have remained three polyps since i got them.

[Justbecause]

Those look like La lakers. ..

yeah kinda but lakers don't have orange.

[scubakid3]

That was taken on a phone. The colors are much brighter.

[Justbecause]

If they look like these.. emeralds on fire

SO how long have you had those then ?
Ive had mine a few weeks now and they still the same ?
I was wondering if i need to move them up a bit in the tank cause i have mine on the sandbed and they seem to be doing fine

[scubakid3]

That picture was taken about a month ago. The colony is now five polyps and i have got multiple confirmations on the ID. Slow growers though.

[specsirl]

Not to hijack this thread but does anyone have any idea where I could locate a few polyps of these? I've been looking with no luck ;(

[scubakid3]

I got them at a frag farmers market. Too bad it's annual :p
