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 agree with Mike. Make sure to watch your water quality.

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!

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.

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?

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!

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