Feeding Watermelon Zoo's

I was at one of my LFS and they had a $2 frag sale so I decided to buy the frag pictured below, which they said was watermelon zoo's. I admit I jumped in without doing research on these because of the sale price and because its more than an hour from my house. I went on their website and saw something about feeding them the Kent Marine Micro-Vert. Then I was reading on here and saw NOTHING about the Micro-Vert.
I have two questions...
1) Are these really what the LFS told me?
2) What is the best food to feed them and do I need to feed them in a 10g with the only other inhabitant being a peppermint shrimp?

Not good with Zoa common names so that is to someone else to help with. Feeding not necessary. They feed off of the light and whatever they can get from the water column. I like how they are on branches like that. Good score!!

They look like eagle eyes to me... and I agree with spanko, no feeding necessary
Yep, Just bought a bigger frag of those myself and they are eagle eyes.
And you don't need to feed them.
 
i dunno if they would take it as ive never tried feeding small polyps like that but ive spot fed some of my zoas/palys mysis before.
