    Hey All,

    I have several zoanthid colonies that I got from a friend. Not sure what if anything to feed them. Do you all feed your Zooanthids? If so what?

    Thanks

    Just give them adequate light, flow and turkey baste your rocks once in awhile and they'll get all of the food they need.

    Get a basic baster from any grocery store. Jet water onto your rocks to remove detritus. Do this at night and your corals get a free meal.
