Mine like flow and light

i have mine at the bottom of my tank and medium flow and they like it, what i have read about the blue zoas/palys is that they like low light to get the bright blue color...

mine is bot under 250w MH but i hear they can do well under med or high as well

Mine do well just about anywhere. The reason Tubbs are so widespread is they maintain their color under many conditions and grow fairly fast.

I had a colony 8" under the waters surface with 8 T5s (54wattx8) over a 100 before no issues. Right now I have a colony 3/4th up the tank under a 250 watt MH 14Ks looking good holding their color.

Mine are under 150w MH, and on the bottom of my tank they had a nice blue color but the skirts were sort of a faded brown. I moved them into the upper 1/3 of the tank, and the blue color has stayed about the same, but the skirt has turned a much deeper reddish brown.

Mine are low under med flow with PC`s for lighting and do very well.
