My tank has been up and running about 6 months or so now and it's almost entirely SPS and zoas. The zoas are really spreading now and soon will be very close to some SPS's. Will I run into issues once the zoas get to the SPS's, or will they just form a blanket around the bases of the SPS? THanks.
Do Zoas/Palys and SPS's get along in close quarters

[B] Acropora sp. and Montipora sp. vs Zoanthus[/B] - There are three different basic varieties of zoanthus that we collect, the regular zoanthids, palythoa, and protopalythoa. I'm not going to go into depth on their differences. The key here is that montis and acros both will dominate zoanthids and palys when they come into contact. I've seen both of them basically grow over the zoa and palys with little fanfare. Protopalythoa though are a completely different story. These guys will destroy any stony coral they come into contact with unlike their pansy cousins.
