I feed zooplankton in decent amounts every two days, I also feed microvert in small amounts and coral excel, mysis hits my tank for fish and eel so some of that finer stuff I'm sure they get to. I also have a nano koralia pointed downwards to help food get around . I think I've had a easy time with zoa's so far because my tank isn't perfect my nitrates are always at around 5 have been for over a year they use to be higher before in changed it to a zoa tank. I have lots of life in my tank like it's over ridden with Copepods and amphipods as there's no predators for them in my tank plus a dsb of about 4-5 inches. I also only use a 250 w mh 20,000k about 28" from the sandbed so it's not that intense , in the evening and early morning it's 4x39w true blue actnics which I like to show off to people because they change the look of my zoa's almost completely I love it

it's a real shame that over the past year I've let the long hair algae and aiptasia take over I've got the long hair algae starting to go away and I just added another filefish to take out the 200+ heads of aiptasia I've got happenng so things are looking up and I'm motivaed about it again

sorry Wayne to highjack didn't mean it lol

never count them out when they are dead they will melt away or turn whitish and fall off and float away. When i lose a zoa I just leave it and let nature take it's course they don't create much dieoff individually so leave it Aldo the problem I'm having are really small baby aiptasia growing between polyps I can barely see them but my zoas notice it
