    Should I be feeding my Zoa's??

    I have a small frag of zoa's that I got from a LFS and was wondering if I should be feeding them brine shrimp? If so, how should I go about doing this? Because I've tried to set some brine shrimp down in their little colony but they seem to just blow away. I have frozen mysis. Help me please...
