+1 on both accounts, single polyp frags have stupid death rates.

Ill ask him about the survival rates of his frags before sending payment.

yeah its a mexican standoff if you buy lots your prob divorced and if you buy few then she stands to say " i told you so "lol

the payoff from them is huge once they grow and you can easily get your money back, if you can get a multi polyp colony that is already showing signs of new babies is even better a friend of mine just gave me a rock with some nuclear greens it had 3large polyps and 9 babies and now just one week later instead of 12 polyps there are 14 and most of the babies are a bit bigger so when theres new growth happening it happenes fast. it stands to reason the more polpys there are the better chance of it creating new heads and thus growing healthy.....a reproducing zoanthid is a healthy zoanthid

++1 Seem they do much better when there is at least 3 polyps.

Both my blue hornet and purple hornet 1 polyp frag melted. 100$ down the garbage.

I later got a 5 polyps frag that is doing very well. Maybe you would be better off to start with larger frags with less variety and when you can frag them then get some other variety.

It is so sad how many beautiful paly and zoas are available in the USA and so little here in Canada.

Well, he states that for the last 100 frags, hes only had to replace 3 of them and is giving me a live guarantee. He will replace any that are doa within a reasonable timeframe on the next order so it makes me feel better. Payment has been sent and the shipment should be sometime next week to give the new frags some time to heal. Now Im excited again...

Cool! good luck with all of them. Those are absolutely awesome.

If I had such collection I would definitly put up a zoa only tank, so that nothing would possibly interfear with them. I would be so scared of losing them! lol!

Hope they multiply well! show us some pics
