What are your thoughts on this zoa?

Hi Nano-reef,

 

I'm about to do a zoa grow-out contest for my local reef club but I'm having second thoughts on whether or not people will pay 10$ for the frag. Charging 10$ because the colony cost us 150$ and I need to at least break even for the cost of doing this. They grow slow and absolutely do NOT like being fragged. I've fragged 20 of them and I have 4 survivors. I'm getting more than enough rock around the base of the zoa and they just seem to close up, shrink, and melt away.

 

The zoa reminds me of Crazy Kronos Zoas.

I'm charging 10$ for a single polyp frag. The prize will be a 50$ gift card and maybe a zoa pack.

 

 

Do you think someone would easily pay 10$ for this frag? They've been sitting in my tank a while and I've gotten use to looking at them. Can't tell if they're something people would want.

A black center is very cool for a zoa, I wouldn't if it was a paly, I'm not a big fan of those. Plus $10 at a club level is a great steal. I would buy a three polyp frag from you at that price.

I'm just learning about zoa, but $10 a polyp...oh yeah!

That one has really great color.

Those are beautiful. I would definitely pay 10$. But I would personally want 2-3 polyps per frag.

At $10 a polyp I would take a few but like others have mentioned, you might have better luck with a few polyps per frag

$10 is super reasonable. Beautiful polyp! But zoas have always been fickle in my tank, so I'd prefer to buy a few per frag.

Some of them actually have a bit of red blended into the black center with white speckles.

 

Well the idea is not to sell these frags to make money. They're part of a competition. A challenge between club members to see who grows the most, the fastest. The winner at the end gets a giftcard or zoa pack.

 

Thanks for all your advice! I'm gonna try fragging them again. Maybe I tried fragging them too early before they fully acclimated to my tank.
