What do you guys feed your zoas to give them the best growth.I use marine snow,but i do not think it does anything.Also when i feed my fish and a piece of mysis lands on palys they seem to eat it,does this make them grow faster?

I have tried many different things. Lately been using the Rods, but am going to go back to my own blend. Much better results. Take frozen chunks of mysis, krill, silversides, brine shrimp, daphnae and drop into a food chopper (bullet is best I have used) and target feed. Pretty much all the palys and protos feed with this blend, with the Rods they don't always feed for some reason.
ANd the zoanthus I am sure feed off of the particulate/juice from the mixture.

Do you see substantial growth by feeding them your own blend.If you do i am going to try it.What do you spot feed them with?
