Picked up a nice Red Zoanthid frag from the fest yesterday and I understand the best way to encourage growth is to feed each head.  Is that right? 
 
If so guess I'd have to turn off my pumps and load up some brine in a baster and squirt each head until it closes on one.  Do this twice a week.  Does this sound right?
 
Just wanted to confirm and see if there is a more simple method.
 
Thanks for any hints you may have.

It gets really hard to feed zoos in that method after the get to about 50 heads. I just use marine snow and call it good. I do sometimes blow some shrimp at some of my coral but tbh it's never the zoos or palys that get direct feed - its my acans, plate coral, brain etc.
None at the moment

Zoo's enjoy somewhat dirty water, what I mean to say is higher nutrient water compared to say SPS.  Instead of feeding them, consider what you are using as a nutrient export.
