As for the stocking...it was going to be strictly SPS, but as yet, the tank isn't really mature enough to push the SPS stocking levels with more frags, so I've been adding some zoas for color. I think that the zoas can live peacefully with the SPS if they had to...unless someone knows differently. I have some more frags for the tank once I feel confident with the tanks maturity.

Bummer about the algae. I've learned the hard way to rip out any plants that I don't know what it is. Chances are if I don't know what it is, it's bad!!! Haha!
Zoas tend to take over the rock work, and sting the SPS causing flesh loss/death. Also, zoas release more toxins into the water than most other corals which irritates SPS. If you can figure out a way around that by maybe trimming back zoas that encroach the SPS and running carbon, then maybe you won't have any problems?
Got any new pics?
I redid my aquascape and did a major cleaning on my tank before I left. I hope it's ok!!!
