WYSIWYG — Exact piece pictured
Dragon Eye Zoas have one of those names that makes it hard not to start assigning jobs to the polyps. Once a colony fills in, it can look like a whole row of tiny eyes keeping watch over the rock while the rest of the reef goes about its business.
Give it enough time and you may catch yourself deciding which polyp is the lookout, which one is guarding the treasure, and whether the snail crawling through the colony realizes it just wandered into dragon territory.
Dragon Eye is an older hobby name that has stuck around for years, and that simple bit of imagination is probably part of the reason. It is easy to remember, easy to recognize, and just a little more fun than calling them “those zoas over there.”

FlowModerate
LowModerateHigh
Provide Moderate variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Zoas. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
PlacementIsland
Placement of your Dragon Eye Zoas is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 100 - 200 PAR range it will need to be mounted Island on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Matting growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
