Feeding zoas

[tampa_nick]

I feed Instant Ocean cyclopeeze twice a week. I squeeze globules that the my fish, star and pistol eat and then shake up the rest in a container of aquarium water, turn off my powerheads and target feed the corals.

I don't think common zoas with accept any food. I've never seen a zoanthid take anything. Palythoa will take meaty foods, but that's not what I see in the picture. I think you are wasting your time, money, and water quality.

Doesn't matter what people say if it works, no harm in trying right. " just want to pluck your zoas and put it in my tank :p" and nice set up too keep it up steve!

So, when I aim a power head at zoanthids, or touch them with my finger, and they close up, they are eating as well?

So your sayin that zoas are strictly photosenthetic. Then how do u explain the rapid growth

I've never seen any difference in growth squirting food at them, nor have I ever seen a polyp take in anything via their mouth. They get everything they need from the water column, and of course, light. I challenge anyone to take a picture of a zoanthid polyp taking in something via their mouth- and I do not mean palythoa.
