I got some zoanthids the other day. A couple polyps from different varieties. (I have no idea their names).

One type of zoanthid I got never quite opened up fully when the lights where on. I would come out and see it before lights where turned on to be fully opened. I thought the light might be too intense and so I put it in the shadow of some rocks. There it has seemed to be more fully open for longer now.

My question is if this was a good idea. Are there zoanthids or things that look like zoanthids that don't like intense light?

Thanks.

The other 4 small colonies of other zoanthids I got are doing great. I think.... :)

Without pictures, it's impossible to tell.
But I do know that some zoanthids just don't like full on intense light.

Different shades of zoanthids prefer different intenstities of lighting. You'll just have to move them around periodically until they find a spot they like. LEave them in one spot for a couple of days and if there is no improvement, move them somewhere else.
