Another believer in fish poop feeding of corals here. I never fed my zoas, and they grow like stink!

I've used vitamin c if that's what your referring to for a long time , I don't anymore and theres no real noticeable difference that I can see.

If you need help with growth or colors maybe a little about your system and what your trying to achieve will help:)

Some zoanthids won't eat foods , well Not the ones you'll offer anyways as they are too large , some larger species like zoanthus gigantus or palythoas species will take meaty foods like mysis.

Besides photosynthesis , what they need is found in the water column , adding food won't hurt though as long as you keep the exporting of nutrients at bay with the importing of foods.remember the build up of too much foods is often a slow process that doesn't get noticed til agae takes hold which is way to late.

Works great for zoas although sps may not appreciate it as they are high maintenance ......maybe dinner and a glass of wine?
