Caronte Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hello everyone Today I saw in my LFS some beautiful (and expensive) Palys frags. They sell Frags with one, two or three polyps. If I get the one with a single polyp can it reproduce by itself or better gets the one with more polyps. The price is $50 for one or $120 for three. Need advice please Link to comment
buddythelion Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 You can get a single polyp and it will bud off by itself. It's how most zoa collectors get their more expensive zoas. Pics of this zoa? $50 for one polyp is really pricey. I'm from CA as well. Link to comment

Is the same method is valid for other corals? AKA Mushrooms, Acans, or Plates? I have a very nice mushroom that I never saw in the trade ever. I have it for like five months but he won't reproduce. I notice that you're in San Jose, I'm in the Central Valley close to Modesto. Thank You for your advice. Link to comment
Singlefin Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Skip the $50 paly. Especially if it's your first. Get some cheap ones and make sure you can grow them. Some people don't do well with palys and zoas. You could probably get 3-4 different ones for the same price. Link to comment

I mean, this is my first Palythoa specie and I never get a Frag with only one polyp in there and I wasn't unsure if they reproduce asexually. Link to comment
