Light or placement and/or feedings. I feed my zoas with various small foods.

Try more light and/or changing flow.
I agree on the light.
If youre uncomfortable upping the intensity, move the zoas higher in the tank.
If I see my zoas color diminishing, I always do that first.

Have you tried dosing with anything to help with color?
