What to feed to Zoas?

We just got our first corals and fish and two of the corals we got are smal zoa frags (the other is silver pulsing xenia) and the person we got them off of said they shouldn't need feed anything. his system is much larger than mine 3000 gallon coral farm, so i'm figuring he has alot more stuff floating around in his system for them to eat. i was just wondering should i feed them or not. i've heard DTs phytoplankton is a good food for them any other recommendations? should it just be dumped in the tank or squirted right at them?

thanks for all the help guys and gals, we'll get some pics up of them in our showcase thread tonight.

Re: What to feed to Zoas?

They do not need feeding. They get their food from photosynthesis of the light. If you do add food for zoanthids alone, you would just be adding nutrients to the water.

Both the xenia and zoas won't need anything except light.Phyto won't do anything for those two corals.
