Is there a way to feed Zoanthids? I have been trying to target feed them with a syringe and Phytoplankton. I don't know if this is working. Anyone have any Ideas?

They can feed for themself. I've had zoas for while and don't feed any of them and they are all doing good.

So there is no way to accelerate Zoanthid growth besides good lighting?

Not really. Theres some coral acceleraters out there but I don't recommend them. Good lighting and tank condition will be the main case. Some just grow faster then others naturaly.

I've shot phyto at my zoos b4, seemed to help a bit.

IMO not worth the benifit with as little if any that they eat.

Good lighting and water movement is best.

now palythoas (sp?) are a different story :)

Target feeding zoos is ok for supplemental feeding but they will get all they need from good lighting.
