So I just got some zoas and need some advice on feeding them. Right now I have 1 yellow tail damsel with 2 peppermint shrimp and 6 snails in my 20 Gal. I'm currently only feeding pellets of krill granule (only enough that my fish and shrimp can feed for about 10 min). Kind of having a hard time deciding what type of food to go with. Frozen foods? I've heard of reef roids and a few other foods. Any input would be extremely helpful to someone very new to the saltwater community
Help with my Zoa's!

From Live Aquaria:
"They contain the symbiotic algae zooxanthellae which provide some of their nutritional requirements. They will also benefit from additional feedings of micro-plankton or brine shrimp given to each individual of the colony."

Reefroids 2x a week at 5pm. What kind of lights you got?
I have 11 zoas that all were in a 20g 3 months ago. Now in a 40B.

no need to feed, your fish waste and uneaten food in water will take care of their needs and mostly they need light to survive like stated above.

He has 1 fish. Not much waste for 100 frags. Never mind 100 polyps. Listen man. I heard that too. My rasta had 4 polyps to start back in June of 2016. With 6 fish in a 20g Only 4 polyps grew out and gave me a total of 8 after 7 months. Soon as I fed reefroids. I was getting 2-3 polyps a month. Now I did a time change and reefroids. Now I am getting 5-6. In real life. Corals feed two ways the best. Photosynthesis(lights) and phytoplankton(reefroids). Think about how diluted waste would be in the wild. It maybe a small form of nutrients, but pictures say a thousand words. This coral had 7 polyps. Now 44. 3 months later.
