How I Frag Zoanthids

I didn’t want to title this video, “How To Frag Zoanthids” because this is just how I frag zoas. I hope that by sharing this video you’re able to pick up some or all of the methods so you can frag zoanthids at home! These aren’t hard and fast guidelines. These are tactics that have worked for me and I hope they will do the same for you.

I remember the first time I fragged a zoa. I had a buddy (thanks Matt - he did most of the work) come show me how to do it. It was nerve-racking to say the least. However, as I’ve said numerous times on this channel…the more you do something in the reefing hobby (or anything really) the easier it becomes over time.

Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

Great tutorial with information, like the basic breakdown for everyone to understand

[InappropriateReefer]

Awesome non-instructional-instruction video on zoa fraggging! 😂 Do I smell a fish room coming in the basement?

[kentedgar]

I have little shop of horrors 10 heads and im scared to cut them lol

This channel has done nothing but grow, and remys content just gets better and better. Can’t wait to see you hit 10k man

Much better than me haphazardly scraping off a polyp using a hobby knife in about 1min total time 😂

Tried fragging afew zoas somewhat recently, but didn't have much luck. I think a big part of that is because it wasn't well planned before hand. My latest attempt kinda just happened out of no where(previous attempt didn't go well, became unglued and zoa departed the plug and was being thrown around tank). Main issue I have with softies and some LPS is once you take time out of the tank they become slime. Have a hard time picking them up, even with forceps and knowing where to glue them. Btw do you prefer any particular brand of bone cutters? I got a frag kit from BRS but mine are on there way out. Thanks for video

Hey, how do you attach loose zoas you find them floating around the tank?

[MrMushroomish]

do another update on your tanks ;) Especially the weaping willow

What are Zoas supposed to look like first thing in the mornings when the lights are off. It’s my first time with a coral and they look ok in the day with lights on, they just don’t look too healthy first thing in the morning just before I turn the lights on.

I tried dragging but the zoas wouldn't close so I gave up😐

[kentedgar]

Think i am going to wait till they hit 15 then split them to put in my other tank and send one to a friend just so i have plenty of fall backs otherwise im going to have to take a hit again. 1st time i only had 2 heads and it melted after 3 months and the ones i have now are taking off started with only 2 heads from world wide

Interesting basically busting off a piece of one frag plug and gluing it on another. Didn’t realize that’s how people fragged. Also I’d be hesitant to put that mask on after spraying some zoa juice on it!

hi.. i always see that people cut down the Zoas or Palys to one ore two polyps.. i figured out that they grow much much better when you leave them in bunches of 5 to 6 polyps .. try and check it out..

[zafishguy]

Too bad we don't have enough distinct research on what zoas and palys contain palytoxin. Its the one thing stopping me from trying zoas. Zoas are amazing corals their only flaw is palytoxin.

[ChewysBro]

Am I the only one who just snips off polyps in tank off a rock and then just glues them directly to a plug???

[macreefs]

This was one of the the most helpful reefing video ive ever seen especially in regard to coral propagation. Kudos

[Arborpress]

The fact that I'm wearing the same shirt as this guy right now as I'm about to wing this makes me even more confident I got the proper equipment.

[DeadLowFishing]

I slice my zoas from rocks. sounds bad haha but they open after a day

[jeremycarron]

Just curious what do you keep your water parameters at for the zoas?

[davidlambert]

So you don’t need to wear a mask when you frag?
