We feed DT's Phytoplankton & also Marine Snow. Both are referigerated products. I also spotfeed my Elephant Ear mushroom & the other mushrooms who are "bumpy" with meaty food such as mysys shrimp. My yellow polyps also will catch meaty food & eat it. My green star polyps never catch anything to eat, even if I spot feed.
I'm not positive if our zoos, mushrooms, & polyps are eating the DT's and Marine Snow (we have other corals that are filter feeders, so I know they eat it...)

That's what I do as well.

DT's phyto and Cyclop-eeze here. Fine crushed flake food in water and then gently squirted at zoanthids works well if need be.

We have a Colt Coral, Spaghetti Leather, Xenias, Green Star Polyps (? not sure if they filter feed)...
I think they're all filter feeders. We also have Porcelain crabs that are filter feeders.

i also use DT sometimes for a few of my corals but with zoas i find it to not be needed at all. i see no difference in color or growth when i feed them. maybe it is becasue we have so much lighting?? Since i saw no difference i decided to stop so i was not adding anything to the water for nothing. i have read they can be fed but i dont think i have seen anything saying they need to be
