feeding my lta?

If that's true, then I apologize, and I hope for your animals' sakes that it is. I haven't encountered anybody on here who would hold w/o paypal, so in that regard, your question is probably pointless.

My paly's will eat mysis, but not the zoas...

+1 That's the case in my experience. I feed phytoplanton that I'm sure the zoas eat, but most of my zoa growth is through photosynthesis.

what is the diffrence between palys. and zoa. do they grow diffrent what

 

[bigmatt1992]

and what is the normal zoa split off rate?

 

[o0xerog0o]

Zoanthid reproduction varies by type, light, water chemistry, flow, etc. Check out the zoanthid sub-forum for all the info you could possibly want on the subject.

 

[bigmatt1992]

will do but back to the other question what the diffrence between palys and zoa

 

[o0xerog0o]

Palythoa:
-Take sand into their stalks
-Mostly carniverous
-Grow on individual stalks

Zoanthids
-Do not use sand in their stalks
-Mostly photosynthetic
-Grow together on a mat

Those are the major differences.

just curious if you are letting that half a cube of mysis thaw out before you feed it to the lta or if its still cold and frozen

I never feed my RBTA's unless they get food from the water column when I feed my fish.

i thaw it out completly then feed with a turky baster.
