Is 7 LED lights enough to keep a zoanthid?

So basically I have one zoanthid that is pretty close to the top of the tank and lights. It is my first coral and I heard it was pretty hardy and did not require much light (which is good). I am currently using the base lights that came with my tank kit (7 sets of LED's that look like they have 3 mini bulbs in each set so like 21 lights? Is that going to be enough for the zoanthid to thrive or will I need to get a light upgrade asap?
 
Without knowing the wattage or brand of the LED, there is no way to tell if it is enough.

theres a link to the tank I got, can't find what kind of LED or wattage :/
The stock lights that come with those tanks won't grow coral. You could always start with fish and then shoo around for lights strong enough for coral. On a tank that size, most people would use LEDs or t-5's. I'd read the reviews on lights at sites like bulk reef supply to see what would work best for you. Good luck!
