Mushrooms And Zoanthids

[bg7003]

Hey, im looking to get some mushrooms and zoanthids for my newly setup reef tank. Its done cycling and all the parameters are perfect. How do i take care of them? like feeding wise? I've been doing tons of reading but never exectly how to feed them? Do i take like an eye dropper filled with baby brine shrimp and squeeze it by their mouths? Also any other info about them would be great! thanks!

9 times out of 10 its not necessary to feed them. Things grow like weeds...

Zoas and mushrooms get their "food" from the lighting, and don't need any supplemental feeding. Another word of warning though, zoas are known to be toxic so it is important to be careful when handling them, maybe wearing gloves.

Just provide the right conditions for them. Even though they are hardy, make sure your tank is done cycling before adding them and keep water parameters as perfect as possible You shall be rewarded with them multiplying.
Anyway, i've found that mushrooms do great in any types of lighting (not too strong however) and any water flow (however not too powerful), so keep them in the lower parts of your tank away from strong, direct flow. Zoa's do well in higher lighting and moderate flow
