Moving Zoa Colonies from High PAR to low PAR

[Jimbo]

I have 4 colonies of Zoa/Paly colonies ( Rasta’s, Candy Apple Red’s, My Clementines, AOI’s ) Right now they’re sitting in high PAR and doing quite well ( 300+ PAR)

My tank is SPS dominant and I’d like to use this space for some of my Acro’s. I’m wanting to move them to the other far side of the tank. Looks like the PAR they’d be getting is about 150-200.

Any advice on moving them over there ? Anybody do something like that? Like I said they’re thriving in the high light and I don’t want to lose them. Here’s a pic

You can move them and just pay attention to their "Body Language" If they start stretching their necks and reaching for light I would move them back.

Agree this is probably what will happen. I got a few colonies from a great vendor in my tank that stretch, growth seems fine just look more like gonis than zoas lol. I have mine in anywhere from 150-225par and couldnt figure it out as that is usually good to highish. I talked to the vendor last time I saw them at a swap and he off handedly said " oh yeah those zoas we keep them in around 400 par or so..." Yeah currently I cant do that.
