What are Zoes?

Since we're being all truthful and learning and ****, zoanthids are not actually true corals. :)

They do, just with chalices they their pars stable without any big swings as well as having the light not to intense.

While zoas can handle bigger swings and adjust pretty fast tho their surround par levels in their environment

I'm sorry, but I think that you are giving terrible advice to someone who is clearly new in the marine tank hobby.
 
I don't think zoanthids love dirty water, I think they can tolerate dirty water.

I'm just stating what works for my tank. I have a zoa dominated 40gallon breeder tank that currently has 90+ different species of zoas/palys.

I find it hard to chase the ideal numbers that everyone chases. Personally I find it easier to experiment and what works for you.

Giving someone (who is obviously new to this hobby) advice to keep their tank dirty because zoas like it and are part of the clean up crew is horrible advice. I think that the OP should buy a few books on beginning a marine aquarium and read them cover to cover several times before even thinking on starting one. Read over the forms and figure out what your final expectation is in your tank and then devise your plan. If you have problems or questions with you plan, then ask for help on a forum such as this one. ARC is full of experienced SW enthusiast with a plethora of help.

No one with any level of experience will encourage you to keep your tank on the dirty side. We are responsible for the lives of living objects and because of this we should educate ourselves with as much knowledge as possible.

A good book I read years ago before I got my first tank was the "Saltwater Aquarium for Dummies" book. It gives a very broad description of all things basic in this hobby.
 
I think this is getting off topic...his original question was what are zoas.

Dylan, that's terrible mis-information!

What happened to my beloved club! :doh:
Problem here is that there is no good</em> way to distinguish between who knows what they are talking about and who has no idea.

Ultimately the responsibility lies with the reader to do his/her own research and decide what is true and what is false. There's good and bad info just about anywhere you look on the internet.

I still see a few of them lurking but not posting, like me. Wish I had the time to get back into this fulltime.


There was a recent proposal for a badge that would be awarded to people who generally give good advice, people who's advice can be trusted.

I think I was a little over-critical when it came down to the details of how to go about doing this, and may have de-railed the discussion. I will attempt to revive the proposal.

I see. I know mushroom "corals" are more closely related to anemones, but I didn't know zoanthids are as well.

I've always thought this should exist
