Great Owl Zoas
Great Owl Zoas have a very clean, almost bullseye-like pattern, with a dark center surrounded by a warm orange ring and a bright outer skirt. Each polyp looks like somebody sat down with a tiny paintbrush and got unusually serious about staying inside the lines.

We recommend starting the Great Owl Zoas in the 100 - 200 PAR range.
Flow — Moderate
Moderate
Provide Moderate variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Zoas. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
Placement — Island
Placement of your Great Owl Zoas is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 100 - 200 PAR range it will need to be mounted Island on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Matting growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
