Metallic Green Zoanthids question

[singold]

Hi, I have a 55 gal long tank with compact Coralife 10,000 watt lighting. Where would be the best place to put my Metallic Green small zoanthid cluster to get them to replicate the fastest?

Wow, there has to be some Zoanthid lovers in this forum that may have some advise on this! ;)

umm id think 10,000 watts of light will be too much for zoanthids?

10,000 watts??

10,000 watts is alot, I'm sure he/she meant 10K :)

[scapes]

oh, but to answer your question, I"ve never had those so I couldn't give you a good answer, sorry :(

Whoops, I meant "Coralife 10,000K daylight compact fluorescent lamp w/ True Actinic lights"

I'd start with them about 1/2 way up in the tank if they are under CF bulbs.

I've got platinum greens and I need to keep them near the bottom of the tank with T5's, if I shade them at all they get angry though lol.

Honest mistake on the lights...:D

Different strains and different colors react so differently to light, even whether it is a new or old bulb, that many of us just start new frags...... once acclimated to the tank..... on the sandbed and watch them for a week or 2 as they adjust to the tank parameters and the light. If they open and spread adn seem happy, all the better. If they, seem to stretch and reach for light, then move them up a third in the tank every other week until they quit reaching.

Hope that helps.... good luck.
