Should my Zoas be so leggy?! Why are they like this??

Looks like they’re stretching for light
 
They probably want a bit more light. It's ok though. Still normal stretch I wouldn't bother moving them. Some zoas are just like that.
I have some zoas stretching at 200 PAR thinking they're Gnipora, still growing well.
 
Yea my zoas do this even at 250+ PAR.

It kinda makes sense as a growth patter because they can "pack in" more heads if they have longer necks.
