how do u kno when there eating? i slowly blow them with frozen thawed baby brine since ive been doing this they have looked more vibrant and have been growing i have like 30 polyps now,i was just curious how you knew if they were eating or not

You don't have feed zoa's, but you can. They get all then need from the water. They will actually catch a piece of food and suck it into the mouth in the center of the polyp.

If I recall correctly-zoas don't react to being fed but palys do.

There is no need to even try to feed them.

+1 Dominick. Palys definitely will eat. I've only seen my zoa's eat a handful of times. Mostly cyclops and small pieces of mysis that got broken apart in the powerheads.

i know you dont have to feed them but i thought it would help them grow faster?

I feed mine a combination of Phyto-Feast, and Oyster Feast. Just pour it in to a high flow area in the tank and it will disperse. It also feeds anything else that is a filter feeder like Feather Dusters.
