When I move mine I simply make one move to where I want to try them give them 1 week and see how they respond. If they're closing up and staying that way is usually a sign they're not happy. I always wait atleast a week before I move anything again in the quest for it's best spot. If the color...

Being intense green is usually a sign of high photosensitivity requiring as much light as possible, you may try moving them high in the tank and IME all zoas love moderate to high flow. Just a thought.

:welcomera I use a sump system for all the reasons mentioned above, I have used canisters effectively, however they were just a pain to clean for me

I only feed my rock anemone once a week with a dropper then rest of the week he gets to sweep up food in the column.
