Do you target feed your Zoa's n Paly's?

I target feed them reef energy A+B not any exact amout of the mix, i usually fill up a 1/4 cup and use 1.5ml of A and 1.5 ml of B and then suck some up with the baster and slowly spread some until they close. Then dump the rest in after they have all been fed. In 1 week ive had a polyp grow off to the side. (bottom right frag) and in 2 weeks ive had more grow on the top frag (urchin is sitting on them:tinfoil3:)

i turn off my pumps and switch between chromaplex, zooplex, and marine snow. i feed them 3-4 times a week. i use a little pipette so i don;t blast them with the food and end up having them close up.
 
I take my zoas out of the main frag tank onto a frag rack, put them in a temp holding container, then start target feeding a mixture of mysis soaked in selcon, cyclopeeze. After feeding all those grubby hungry polyps i put in a low flow pump to ensure everyone gets some yum yum. i then take them out after a couple hours and put them back in my main frag tank. that way no mess is added to my main frag tank.
 
Nope. But they sure like to eat. This shot was taken during fish feeding.

Yes i started spot feeding 4 days ago and still haven't finished. Kidding. I don't because it would take me forever. I just throw a lot of fish food and i'm sure the powerheads takes leftovers to everyone.
 
I've always just made a mess when I try to feed them so I gave up. They grow just fine for me without feedings though

I like this idea. Do you burp them afterwards?
