enhancing zoanthid growth

[hamdogg08]

Is there a way to make the zoanthinds in a tank reproduce and grow at a faster rate than just keeping the water parameters in check?

some say vitamin C.

Would you want to add phytoplankton, or target feed them with anything? I'll be the first to admit that I don't really know what either of these additions are used for.

not all zoas eat, and its not proven to speed growth either. But Most protopalys will eat. I think the best thing to do is to just keep your tanks waters parameters stable, and wait. Make sure there isnt competition between zoas and algae.

theres a saying that when it comes to reefing nothing good happens fast.

some proto will eat as well. i do think it helps those reproduce a little quickers. over all i agree with LoudProudNPunk. i do target feed all my zoa's. i do target feed the ones i know will take it. the others i just let them suck in the ray of my MH and anything they can get from the water.

does take time.
