absolutely. what should the care be for zoas? this is my first shot at them and the PH are expensive i dont want them to die lol

 

Definatley need pictures! and just a heads up on the hornets(i have some of my own) they dont like extremely bright light so if you can put them in a "shady" area theyll do fine. And congrats!

They are not to demanding on lighting, and prefer moderate water flow ( they can do OK in high also)

I found that when I had 2 colonies of the same coloured Zoas, the colony that was furthest away from my T5 lighting seemed to have the best colouration

good to know any advice is great for me right now i want them to thrive so i can make my money back on them someday fragging them to local members lol

 

Zoas are pretty easy to care for. they feed off the light. heres a link i found awhile back.

so should they be placed directly on the sand bed?

 

great read ty for the article

 

Yea for the time being. Let them acclimate to the strength of your light and water flow. Then after a week or 2 move them alittle higher. Eventually youll find the right spot for them and they should FLOURISH.

And your welcome. Its there to help
