Your tank looks really nice, I suggest zoas for any tank so no exception here

I have a rock with green zoas that are in the bottom of my tank. I tried to put them up higher and they closed up for a week. Seem to like it lower.

Hmm in my experience zoas tend to not really care but if that's the case why not try some euphyllia corals for the mid region of your tank? I notice your anemones are happy so your tank is clearly well off, something like a gold torch would add an awesome splash of color.

Those both look like great suggestions! The red BTA was one of my first corals. I heard they could be tricky but this one seems to love my tank. It split when I did a 40% water change, then split once again after a feeding.

If your anemones are that happy there's no reason not to try some stonier corals. I'd actually recommend some SPS for the upper level but work your way up to that point with easier stony corals like the euphyllia I suggested.
Looking at the state of your tank I see no reason why you won't be able to keep healthy SPS in the future
