Solo77 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Some successful zoa keepers can't prevent their zoas from melting for no reasons and for some can spread like wild fire but died after some parameters changed. So experienced reefers will frag their mother colony to spread the risks. Anyway, it's open market but find it rather amused by the current trend. Think this used to be the trend which died down Sometime but now resurrect again. Only time will tell. Reef on.
