Question on Zooanthids( button polyps)

[tyh]

do they need strong lighting?? or can they be put under shade or a overhanging rock where there is very little light?

 

also, what kinda currents do they thrive best in? medium or low?

 

cheers.

Definitely not - the ones that contain zooxanthellae require a strong lighting source. Those that don't contain zooxanthellae don't require strong lighting, but will not be adversely affected by it.

 

Just be mindful of where you put 'em. If placed near corallimorphs (mushrooms), they'll almost always lose, should a chemical war break out.

 

Good luck....Ross.
