Zoas/Paly feeding?

[LBFish]

Do you guys do any supplemental feeding of your zoas/palys? Is there anything I can be doing to help them grow faster?

i vote for keeping your hands outta the water and not bothering it... works for me.

i notice a really big difference in growth whenever i get busy with life and forget about my palys and zoas in my tank for a while...

your LFS should carry vitamin C to dose with in liquid form... when you spot feed you take a cup and some frozen cubes of misis or brine shrimp put the cubes in the cup then fill the cup up like 1/2 way with water out of your tank, let the cubes melt, use a turkey baster to suck some of the water/food up, then stick the baster in the tank and squirt it on your zoos, i ususally turn my flow off during this part and for about 20 min after.

+1 Two thing I do differtently are feed the fish first to try to keep them occupied otherwise your aggressive eaters will steal it. If it's an option, meaning they are in a place that it will not fall off, I use the top of a 2 ltr soda bottle to cover them to keep the fish and snails away...

Will give it a shot, thanks!

I also give mine a shot with some phyto 1-2 times a week...
