Mushrooms and zoanthids are some of the easiest corals to keep. They would do find at the bottom of your tank. I recommend QTing them for a couple weeks before adding them to your tank.

You could gently squirt a little of what you are feeding at your corals. I have some zoas that will take bits of food and others that I have never seen close around anything. None of my mushrooms have ever actively taken any food.
