zoa`s brightened up after feeding?

I would say they are probably getting acclimated. While I am a HUGE proponent of feeding corals. Zoas are notoriously picky eaters and will often 'react' to the food rather than eat it ( similar to some types of richordea) Paly's tend to be the voracious eaters. Most people that you talk to will tell you that their Zoas eat like mad, but in I have a feeling more often than naught they are reacting.

The slurry is a great idea and go a long way in a tank. Another good method is to take the top layer of 'cloudy stuff' from thawed fish foods for the rest of the tank and use that for the smaller polyp corals.

Either way, if you can keep it up without over feeding the tank I am 100% on your side in terms of feeding. If nothing else... Its probably not hurting!

 

I regularly feed my corals (zoa's included) as I have non photosynthetic sponges that need daily feedings and I have seen a wonderful improvement in pigmentation of colors. More so on larger corals but the zoa's do well with it.

I typically use my own mash up, but my zoa's love the end slurry of the coral frenzy juice a lot! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

 

I feed my LPS Aqua merin (sp) That German company. one that is a two part mixture. Most love it. the zoas are alright with it. I have tried coral Chili, and frenzy with mixed results. I use Rod's...Reef mix I think it is... And use the cloudy top layer for Zoas and pipeorgans.
