Has anybody been able to sucessfully grow zoas or palys on the walls of their aquarium? If so, any advice on how to do it? thanks

I've had it happen, mainly on accident. I had a rock covered in zoanthids leaning against my back wall and slowly the started to creep up the wall.
I've glued palys onto the wall a few times and had luck with them growing as well. I've definitely noticed that zoanthids and palys grew slower for me on the tank glass than on live rock.

I'm not a fan of dosing iodine. A good quality salt nix combined with regular water changes should be enough iodine for zoanthids. Dosing iodine can be dangerous, there is a fine line as to how much can be used. Too much (and it doesn't take much) and you'll kill inverts and corals.
