Are their zoa that do better in higher lighting-recomendations
 
I can only speak for my tank
I have frozen apple, vampire, magician and fake lime chili under 200+par

I think it’s also a tolerance thing. Some zoas do well In some light conditions then after a while some seem to stretch and require higher intensity. I have few more which I need to move upwards after few months in the same position
 
For my knowledge, zoas can go pretty much anywhere. They're a very versatile coral
 
Most zoas do well under modest par 80-130 or so. There are some that can absolutely adjust to higher par over time. Any of the larger polyped zoas generally do fine. Bread and butter stuff like bam bams, daisy cutters, blow pops, are also good candidates. You'd probably generally want to stay away from some of the higher end ones as many* don't have as much tolerance for high par. This is, of course, all dependent on the zoa's conditioning, your lights, etc.
