Grim Reaper Zoas
Grim Reaper Zoas sound like they belong in the part of the reef where the lights get dim and things start feeling a little more sinister. Their dark centers and bright gold markings give the polyps a goth appearance, almost like little rings of light breaking through the shadows. As the colony fills in, that dark-and-gold pattern starts to repeat across the rock, and Grim Reapers change from eerie to almost hypnotic.

We recommend starting the Grim Reaper 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 Grim Reaper 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.
