Reef Nutrition Arcti-Pods

Reef Nutrition Arcti-Pods is a refrigerated concentrate of whole arctic copepods (Calanus finmarchicus), one of the ocean’s richest natural sources of astaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids. The deep red pigment helps intensify coral and fish coloration while the high lipid content fuels growth. Round it out with the rest of your reef foods.

Why Reef Keepers Use It

• Loaded with natural astaxanthin, the red pigment that supports coral and fish coloration

How to Feed
