Default HOW MUCH LIGHT FOR MY ZOOANTHIDS
The other day I was moving some of corals I put the zooanthids in a higher location closer to light I am starting to notice color changes I
want to know if require lots of light or not.

what kind of lighting do you currently have?

I dont think zoos require heavy amounts of light.
Just moderate amounts is enough

IME, lesser light gets the better colors

Same here... I put them up top near the lights when I first got mine, they lost a lot of colour...

moved the zoa's back to the bottom of the tank in a partially shaded area and they look great

I luv zoa's!
