Feeding zoas and palys??

Lovge · Jan 22, 2014

What is the general idea behind feeding these guys?? Do they NEED to be fed or is the light enough?? As well as to get best growth and color and what products do you use?

I don't think they NEED it, but feeding is fun.

I used to feed my tank before it crashed and they had explosive growth under stock biocube lighting. I feed much less now and still see decent results. They don't need to be fed, just helps them grow

I make my own food. chopped seafood with a few vegetables, fuel and shrimp larvae. I freeze it in cubes and feed every other day.

Zoas/palys don't need direct feeding, and often times refuse to eat even when a Mysis shrimp is laying on them. Just broadcast feed and if they want something theyl grab it. Other than that lighting is plenty.
