Zoanthids are generally a very undemanding coral. Of course like most sessile organisms they need good water flow to bring food and help rid them of waste. The species that contain zooxanthellae require strong lighting source. Those that do not contain zooxanthellae don't require the strong lighting but will not be adversely affected by it.
In nature zoanthids are often found in turbid, high-nitrate areas in canals, harbors, intertidal areas and reefs. For this reason they are fairly tolerant of poor water quality high nitrates, phosphates an dissolved organics. They will not however do well if filamentous algae is allowed to grow as they can be smothered.
Hope this helps you in the process of elimination^
