Beware the fairy dust on the overflow. Mine almost caused a flood today when they blocked the teeth in the overflow. I probably have 2000 heads of them (no, that is NOT an exaggeration). Unreal.
Don't forget to send me your discussion ideas......it can be anything reef related, corals, equipment, dosing, etc.
Support marine aquaculture, and share with your friends! Then you will find out who they really are.

True for most cases from my experiences. I tend to move them so much they tend to stress and melt away. So I leave them where they like their flow and light and leaving my hands away from the tank. Other than that that are easy to keep.
I personally think that smaller zoas (zoanthus sp.) are not good beginner corals. I think some varieties are more finicky than others , like what's been mentioned, but overall I think you'd be better off with larger varieties (zoanthus gigantus or palythoa). That has been my experience anyway.

Not only for zoas, but I found the best way to ensure you keep that new addition happy is to put them on a frag rack until they start growing.
I used to place them immediately, then have to move them, then again to find out what they like. But you put them on a rack you can adjust the rack without touching the coral. I leave mine on the rack for weeks until I've got an idea of what and where they like to be. Then I place and glue.
