Zoas, in general, prefer lower light and lower flow.

When I've had zoas higher up on my rockwork, they often struggle or outright melt away. Put them in a spot where they have some shade and shelter from high flow, and they thrive. There are exceptions to this, but if you see zoas struggling it's often a good idea to move them lower in the tank.
