Lighting effects on zoa

[04mach1]

Ok I just recived a new rock and will update the pics once a week to see the changes. Ive noticed one I add new zoos to my tank they change drastically over a few weeks.

I have them same experience with my T5s. But i only have 6 on a 75gal. My zoas take a few days to open under my lights, and i always have to start them in the shade or they just get fried. Your tank must be super bright.

I put my zoas under a metal halide and they dont get fried at all they love it. Fist day in the tank to. I have tried placing them all over the tank but they just love the light

Different zoas like different lights. Some high, some low and they all will change color with different lighting. Trick is to find the amount of light that makes them prettiest to you .

BTW Very pretty zoas the way they are!
