Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef Flake
Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef Flakes are a gourmet food rich in fresh seafood and zooplankton, formulated for reef aquariums and the carnivorous, omnivorous fish and invertebrates that live in them. A high inclusion of salmon, halibut, krill, plankton, crab, and clams gives it a flavor fish cannot resist, while added astaxanthin and natural pigments support vivid color. Round out the tank with our corals and more fish food.
Why Fish Love It
- Seafood and zooplankton rich: salmon, halibut, krill, plankton, crab, clams, and more that reef fish crave.
- Color-enhancing: astaxanthin, beta carotene, and canthaxanthin bring out reds and oranges.
- Great for mixed reef tanks: feeds fish and many invertebrates at the same time.
- Clean feeding: a high-quality flake that does not cloud the water when fed as directed.

FAQ
Is this only for reef tanks?
It shines in reef and marine tanks and many invertebrates take it, but the high-protein recipe also suits freshwater carnivores like cichlids.
Will it help color?
Yes. Astaxanthin and other natural pigments support brighter reds and oranges over time.
Which size should I choose?
The 1.2 oz is great for a small tank or a trial, and the 2.5 oz is better value for everyday feeding.
