Bad pic but zoas doing great. I may be an oddball but mine grow like crazy but I keep mine approx 8 inches under LED Llighting. Slightly under an overhang but barely.

Here are mine!

Got them a couple weeks ago. I have put them in a couple different places so far and they are not opening fully. Tried a couple different flows also. Tried about 150 Par and about 350 par. No difference in how they look.

whats the ideal light for these. I got mine were doing good and then almost lost them when i moved them up in the tank. I have ecotech radions.

My blue hornets love love love light! Brings out their brightest base and ring in my experience. They just need to be in direct light, doesn't have to be super high or nothing though and left alone.

So nice! I have them on mid high and mid bot with high flow and they do great. Buddy is right if you put them too low they loose the center just like any other hornet.
