BKtomodachi Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 If they are growing long stalks, they probably dont have enough light or current. What are your specs? Link to comment

I was just trying to make it funny glad you got the humor. Yes you have to wait for them to spread and yes you can frag them. I have never done it but I know people who have including someone whos tank is only zoas and recieved tank of the month some time back on reefcentral (he actually lives a couple hours away from me).
