Do you feed your zoas?
 
Hey everyone, new around these parts and I am wondering if you guys feed your zoanthids and if so, what you are feeding them. I've been doing some researching a bit and found that people seem to be having success with 'reef chilli' and 'reef roids'. What are people have success with here I canada, can you get products like the one above here in canada? Would like to hear some feedback!!

Maybe I should reword it to 'what supplements do you use for your Zoas' haha

All kind of feeding and supplements I blast mine with royals throughout the day as that seems to give me the color blast I am looking for.

Fish poop from business end of the fish;)

I don't feed zoanthids, I use to but growth was no better than not feeding them. I have quite a large collection and they grow fast so I think it works;ppp

Strong lights, stable parameters and strong flow.....equals great growth:)

Do you guy keep sps as well? Maybe alittle bit about the setups? LED's? Metal halide/t5 combos. Since fish poop is your supplement you bio load is pretty great? I've been reading around and some guys swear by spot feeding there zoanthids and some even broadcast feed, which seems a bit frisky to me but it seems to work for them. Thoughts? Guys that haven't tried feeding would you ever give it a try?
