How to Succesfully Raise Zoanthids

[dendroman]

I would like to know what lighting to use what Photo period, what salinity works best, what kind of flow, what feeds to use, protien skimmer yes or no, what additives to use and how much and how often etc

Every coral has different demands. Check out the threads in the ZOA section. They will help you to have a better understanding of what you will need. I'm on my phone so I can't get you any links right now.

Imo. They like nutrient rich water and will grow more under lower k lighting 10-12000k but will achieve better color under higher k 15-20000k. I have metal halides on my tank

Zoas are much more forgiving than other corals when it comes to water parameters, which makes them good for beginners. They let you know if they're happy by staying open or closed. Different ones like different levels of light, current etc. You just have to watch them. Good luck!
