Some of my zoa have grown extremely huge they look like they're ready to blow up. Why is this? I dont feed much maybe every week or other week.

Some species/morphs are just larger and/or have longer stalks than others. Depending on how deep your tank is, they could be reaching for light, you could try either moving them up or turning up the lighting if your other corals can handle it.

They def need more light. Flow will do that too to a lesser extent but they for sure are reaching for light. I have a ton of zoas and my stupid armor of gods (no matter where I put them) reach like that if they aren’t like 6” below the waters surface.

All that getting weird and stretched out means they want more light. Put them up on the rockwork somewhere. A naturally long-stalked zoa wouldn't look nearly that messy, it'd be a more organized clump. People Eater species zoa/palys tend to have longer stalks, but they never splay around under proper conditions.
