Hi! I’m new and I’m sure there is a lot of advice that I can’t get from YouTube videos and online research. So I recently spent more on 2 zoanthids that were high price to me. White zombie eyes and some orange bam bams.
The bam bams are extremely small compared to the zombie eyes. I’ve heard that high light shrinks the polyps and is easier for growth and the colors pop more. Lower light makes them reach out and get bigger. Is this true?
Secondly, when I feed them I only have brine shrimp and the zombie eyes are easy to see latch on to a entire brine shrimp and pull it in for eating. The small bam bams however are pretty difficult to see if they are eating. Any tips tricks? I am a bit apprehensive to get into feeding plankton or the small particle feeds as I haven’t been doing this long. Hell most of my posts are asking what weird “coral” has latched onto my frags and hitch hiked in.
