I've read that some people target feed them. More of a liquid mush than a solid type of food. Like Selcon with Cyclopeeze.

My zoanthids took about 6 months before they really started to take off. I wouldn't try to target feed them there's plenty of dissolved organics for them to eat. I started out with a couple of frags of about 5 polyps each know I have literally hundreds of polyps and I have to isolate them, otherwise they'll just take over the tank.

It took abot 3 months before I noticed my zoas to start growing. Ever since I started target feeding them ( 2 months ago) they have started to really open up. I feed thee once a week using frozen coral food by H2O, frozen oyster eggs, and DT's. I also use rotifers and mysis in my conncoction to feed all the other critters. I turn my sump off for about 2 hours when i feed so this stuff circulates.

i use rod's food.

its food for the whole reef, has mysis, cyclops oyster eggs, selcon, all sorts of good stuff

sorry got off topic there, just be patient it takes awhile for them to become happy and adjusted to new condidtions. what kind of lighting do you have/ how many ga. is your setup?
