Spongebob Zoa

[JimCali75]

Hi all, Just got a frag with 4 Spongebob polyps. Does anybody know how much light these guys like? The vendor said they really like to get blasted. I've only had them for 2 days. Right now they're at the bottom of a 60 cube with a Kessil A360W. So about 30" below the light. I'm planning on gradually moving them up but I'm leary of "blasting" em. So far they have been open intermittently. I had one polyp previously. It opened for a day and melted :-( Really want to see this frag to well. These guys really pop

Thx for any input

Ive never had a polyp that didnt like to get "blasted"

So Neeks would you recommend working them up towards the top. I've always been under the impression zoa in general were a bottom half of the tank coral..

If you dont have other things 100 percent dependent on lights, I would dim lights and increase over 3-5 days. If you do and you want to blast them yes, work the way up

Mine like to be close to my led light and in High flow.

I keep mine towards the sand area. Mid to low light , mine grow fine

I also keep mine toward the bottom of the tank on the sand bed.
