Yeah---I have been spot feeding my blastomussa for about a three weeks now and guess what? He split! HOORAY! Now instead of having 2 heads---I have four! HOORAY! Wow--he did this practically overnight!
As a side note--my Zooanthids have more then doubled in size since I have been spot feeding them!

Ryan, that's cool. Remember to watch your water quality with the increase in feeding.

It does make a differance thats for sure. I love watching the corals grow.

I do a water change once a week and I plan that about 1.5 days after I spot feed. So far---I can't argue with success!

That is actually a picture of someof the flowers that I hybridize! In fact that is a real picture of the flower---eventhough shrunken down it look s like a cartoon! Spring has started for me! Since I manage a greenhouse(yes, I teach school too and I go insane this time of year)--we have begun planting seeds such as geraniums, lobelia, verbena, and other crops that take a long time to grow! I LOVE PLANTS! and of course corals! ------------- Nobody is perfect! I'm a nobody! |

How do you spot feed zooanthids? I god a very very small frag from the LFS and I would like to see them grow quickly. ------------- 14g Micro-reef & 29g Cichlid Tank |

When I spot feed my corals. I just take a little chunk of Cyclopeze and hold it close by until either the coral grabs it or until I think that they have had enough.

What about using zooplankton in a turkey baster? For zooanthids? What about mushrooms? ------------- 14g Micro-reef & 29g Cichlid Tank |

I think that the turkey baster is an excellent idea never tried it though. As for the zooplankton I am unsure.

Any meaty foods small enough will be eaten by zoos and blastomussa--including table shrimp, clams, etc----in fact I use my finger nails to break pieces off when I am feeding my anemone---they are not picky eaters--and they can eat more then you think! The more food--the more growth! It's amazing!
I do use a turkey bastor! ------------- Nobody is perfect! I'm a nobody! |

| My hubby uses a turkey baster to feed our tank too. It works great. |
