Zoos? Planktons?

[Elune]

3 noob questions:

Qns 1:

Zoos = ZooPlankton? Yes or No?

If No, wat is Zoos? What is its full name and its a sponge/coral/anemone ?

Qns 2

Wats the difference between Zooplankton and Phytoplankton?

Qns 3

What good is it to drip some into your tank?

Zoos are not equal to zooplankton

"Zoos" is a short form given to zoanthids and you can find lot's of pics here

Zooplankton are plankton which consists of animal type organisms

Phytoplankton are plankton which consists of plant type organisms

And most people dose live phytoplankton to increase biodiversity in thier tanks and to feed LS such as clams

As for zooplankton, most reefers have them growing in refugiums so it's not a necessity to dose

Zoanthids are corals? Or sponge?
