you mean, flow is directly tied to growth?
I agree, zoas handle high flow better than any other type of coral in my tank. I've got a huge colony right in the line of fire of a MJ-mod and they take the beating like its nothing. The montis and acros in the same vicinity are getting their tissue blown off.

Thats interesting. Most of my zoas have short skirts and grow very close to the substrate.
I think flow and light. Some of mine open up only when theres light and close up when there isn't.

Definitely light, I just figured that was a given. The brighter the better.

I dunno, i agree with good lighting. But i have serveral colonies who just cannot handle being near the top of the tank.
Feeding only helps the palys grow. My zoo's don't really eat anything and they are all over the place. Oh and leave them alone. The ones that i just let it be and forget about grow a lot faster than the ones i'm always paying attention to and moving around.

I totally agree. I feed my tank 5-50 m food for my sps and sometimes direct feed 1-500 for the lps. I figure the zoas can eat out of the water column just fine.

I have frags that have fallen behind my rockwork that i cant get to only to find out a couple months later they have quadrupled in size and re-emerge from the depths.
