cant comment on salinity but i find most of my zoas do better in medium lighting, their all different though some like lots some like barely none it all depends on your zoas but you can move them to another spot untill you see some improvement, i also find they dont like direct flow and grow better in medium flow areas. some zoas are very hardy and cant be killed while some are unpredictable they really are fasinating do you feed your corals??380 is a bit low for calcium you may want to bump it up a bit to around 450 mine runs at 450-475 good luck

Running T5 lightings (RSM 34G). placement of the zoas are middle to near bottom. Using Instant Ocean for salt mix.

Will be bumping my SG tomorrow to 1.025 and calcium to 400 and see.
I feed all my lps with Kent Marine phytomax

woa, do not bump your salinity so quicly, especialy if you have invertebrates in there or fish. But even for coral, don't do it so quickly. It's better to go from 1.022 to 1.025 in a few days.

My zoanthids love frozen cyclopeeze. I don,t think any of my coral eat phytoplankton, mostly zooplankton like rotifers and cyclops.
