Different Zoes cant touch?
I got some Miami Vice Zoa's and after getting them to transfer and start growing on one section of my rock, I wanted to add some different color into a cluster of existing orange Zoa's. Well now my Miami Vice frag is all shriveled up. Was only in contact for a day. Been 2 days now and there still lookin sic and shriveled. Not opening. Did I kill them?

Unfortunately zoanthids are like that. Once they settle somewhere and are disturbed, there is a risk that they will get shocked and shrivel and melt away.
You just look at some specie of zoanthids and they melt. Dosing vitamine C help sometime so it might be a good idea to dose a bit of vitamine C (sodium ascorbate available at iherbs.com) in the tank before planning a move or a frag.

I have several of the vice Zoas & I find them to be very fickle when it comes to other zoa & paly's, give them space & I dip in some RX or revive. I tried the Vit C dosing in my nano & it was not very succesful but recently I have decovered that a little dose of iodine daily is very helpful as well as weekly feeding.

Zoas are all different. Some more aggressive than others. If you mix colonies it's always possible one will outcompete for space.
Palys are the devil when it comes to that !

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Anyone tried the pink and gold palys? those are absolutely undestructible and have invadors to anything in the tank. They are climbing on my SPS, clams, anything. If all were so tough as these, we would never see any of them shrivel and melt. Why is it that those are so darn resistant but you look at some other and they melt?
Very anoying. Quote:

I have a few different vice zoas and they're all in zoa gardens touching a few other zoas with zero issues for me so far.
