What’s Inside Each 16 oz Bottle?
Tisbe biminiensis – Small, benthic harpacticoid copepods that hide in rockwork and substrate, feeding on detritus and film algae. Excellent for active hunters like mandarins and scooter blennies.
Apocyclops panamensis – Medium-sized, free-swimming cyclopoid copepods that feed both from the substrate and the water column. Perfect for fish, corals, and boosting biodiversity.
Tigriopus californicus – Large, bright-red harpacticoid copepods rich in astaxanthin and HUFA. Their size and swim pattern trigger strong feeding responses in even the pickiest fish.
Rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) – Microscopic (42 microns) zooplankton ideal for coral polyps, filter feeders, and larval fish. Excellent for targeted coral feeding and early life-stage nutrition.
Perfect For
Mandarins, scooter blennies, anthias, and other pod-dependent fish
Corals requiring small-particle planktonic food
Filter feeders such as clams, feather dusters, and sponges
Seeding refugiums or new reef tanks with a balanced live food web
