Spot feeding Zoas. Who does it and how's it done?

[ajespo85]

The more and more I look at them, the more I want a Zoa garden tank. I have a few small frags now, and I would like to boost there multipling if that's possilbe. I've read some people have spot feed them, and they seem to enjoy it and the Zoas seem quite happy, though I can't remember what was fed to them, or how often. My question is, are there people who spot feed their Zoas regularly? What do you use to feed them?

I love my zoos and I do spot feed them missy shrip mostly and once a week I add a little iodine
not sure if the coarl frenzy helps I use that as well
and mine do great but I allso like to do the one with them

We spot feed with Dr. G's 2 to 3 times a week and our zoas are doing quite well.

what do you use as the tool to feed them with? i have the "sea squirt" i'm planning on using.

I don't spot feed, but I broadcast feed everyday and lots off stuff catches food. Only the larger pieces. I saw a post grandis showed of a product that you feed zoas with, using pellets soaked in something to encourage them to eat it. Was interesting to me but everything looks so well already I don't think it's needed. Plus I would probably forget to feed them.

I haven't yet. I was thinking about feeding those Hikari Micro Pellets though. (usually for small tetras) Just litter them all over the zoas the day before a water change. Yes? No?

I haven't target fed my zoas but do as Piper27 said and broadcast feed. If you have good flow food just eventually get to a majority of the polyps. I have been looking into target feeding though and might try it soon.

@IM24TankTeam, i got a bottle of DR. G's and i must say, this stuff is doing the trick. My one set of 3 zoas have already produced 2 "babies". I spot feeded my frogspawn a few times too, and it seems to love the attention too. I've been feeding with a long skinny glass pipette, it makes it easier to spot feed than with that large plastic sea squirt.
