Zoa/Palys that like lots of light?
 
Does anyone know of any zoa/palys that like to grow towards the top of a tank closer to the light? All mine seem to like the bottom/middle and would like some growing on the top of my rock work if possible. Thanks.

My Armor of God Palys and Mind Blowing Palys are probably my most light tolerant.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will see if I can find any locally for a decent price. Anyone else with any options?

I have tubb's blues, darth mauls, gorilla nips, mohawks, and some magicians all in high light and they are doing just fine.

This is why Zoas suck. My Tubb's and Darth Mauls do not like even medium light, they are in low light and doing well. Stupid Zoas.... :twised:

That is irrelevant without knowing your lighting type and schedule, and depth of tank. :)

My Tubb's are on the bottom of my 18" deep tank lit by 4 T5s (all blue).

My tank is 22" deep and I am running an evergrow D120 120w LED.

I grew pretty much all of my zoas 12" away from a 250 MH in a 6" deep tank. Even the 'deep water' varieties (which in all honesty probably aren't from deep water).

I also pack a lot of light , 11" of water and my racks are about half way or more and I run 80w t5s

In my display I have them at waters surface , you can put your finger in and touch them and your maybe a mm or two ts in the water lol , in fact my Miami vice stick out of the water by a few mm so I think the lights arnt bothering them too much ;)
