Thought I'd share Aquaphilic's zoos that I picked up at the frag swap last weekend. Do you target feed them? They are VERY bright and plump 
Thanks for bringin' 'em!

I never feed mine purposely and have never really observed them eating. They seem to thrive on light and whatever is in the water. I have 2 x 150W MH on a 46g tank. They do equally well high or low in the tank and retain their bright colors unless they spread into a shaded area.
Unless you want them everywhere, I recommend that you don't postion them on the main rockwork. This particular variety spreads quickly for me. Eventually everyone in town will have these in their tank!
Glad you like them!

True. I have seen other varieties close up a bit and appear to eat. After all, zoanthids have what appears to be a "mouth", it should follow that they eat.
Mine don't seem to require target feeding of any kind though to thrive.

Thanks for the replies - and I'm glad to hear they spread fast! While I wouldn't want them to spread over the entire tank, I wouldn't mind a big rock covered with them !
Fish - the Eagle Eyes took a little longer to open up, but they have now! They look great!

Everyone who wants these zoas will eventually have them. They are a beautiful plague.
Mako, post a photo of the blueberrys if you get some time.

One more thing. If you haven't viewed these under straight actinics (or blue led) at night, try it. You will be happy. They are super fluorescent!
