    Zoanthids do not need to be fed

    Zoas don't need any extra special feeding as their primary source of food is photosynthesis and excrements of your fish. You can feed them if you want to though. Although, as already it has been stated by others they close up a lot with most foods. I have turkey basted mine with flakes already soaked in water but, most of that will be eaten by your fish.
