Have at it. Make sure you are regularly changing water and you are good to go.

It doesn't matter. What matters is that you make sure you 7ndetstamd each corals needs, particularly space, flow, and elements over time

I started my tank with live rocks that had zoas on them from day one. If you’re keeping a BTA and fish, you can almost certainly keep some zoas. Grab a frag and give it a shot.

My
Only concern would be to inform anyone wanting zoas , palys of the potential risks . Along with safe handling

assume all zoas , palys carry palytoxin!

research palytoxin on here , or simply google .

Zoas are easier to add than BTA's so... if your BTA is healthy (and has been for a while) you're definitely good with Zoas.
