For what you have that will be perfect!

If the nem starts climbing for the top it means it wants more light.

What overall intensity are you running them at?
 
I’m running mine at 55% total intensity with all the individual color channels at 100% for about 8 hours. I started at 30% total intensity and worked my way up by about 5% every week or two to not bleach everything with too much light. These lights will definitely grow your zoas and nem. I found the BRS video on the lights very helpful - maybe check that out because it’ll cover PAR and spread.
 
im at 55% but my tank is 3 ft deep par are good ill post my readings so are you saying the radiant color template is good? or should i

stick with the lps/softie template?
 
I have found zoanthids can look better in more light. A lot of people think low light is necessary but acclimating them to higher light I have found grows them and colors them better.
