Zoas/ palys wont grow on sand so if your looking for growth you will need a rubble substrate, just maintain your levels as close to seawater and you will be good to go.
From "Aquarium Corals" by Eric Borneman
"Zoanthus colonies are highly dependent on their zooxanthellae- rather than active feeding on zoa plankton- for energy, and should always be placed in the aquarium where they will receive bright lighting"- PG 187
Now you just need to watch out for pests like Zoa eating nudies, zoa pox and large eunicid worms.
