It delivers essential fatty acids, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and natural carotenoids that drive coral growth and color while adding antioxidant support.

Add 1 capful (5 mL) for every 200 litres (about 50 US gallons) twice a week, or as needed to support coral growth. Rather than spot feeding, disperse Reef Zooplankton throughout the aquarium so corals can capture it from the water column. Start conservatively and increase only as your corals respond, since any food adds to the tank's nutrient load if overdosed.
