Coral Food & Amino

Why Use Coral Food & Amino Acids?

Coral food and amino acids are vital for providing corals with the organic nutrients and amino acids they require to thrive, especially in reef tanks where natural nutrients might be limited.

Key Benefits:

• Promote Healthy Growth: Coral food provides essential nutrition to stimulate growth and vibrant colouration.

• Support Skeletal Development: Calcium, magnesium, and amino acids are essential for healthy skeletal structure in SPS and LPS corals.

• Enhance Colouration: The right nutrients promote the natural colours of corals, making your reef tank more vibrant.

• Increase Coral Polyp Activity: Proper feeding encourages more active feeding behaviour in corals, supporting a healthier, more dynamic ecosystem.

Types of Coral Food & Amino Acids

We offer a variety of coral foods and amino acid supplements to meet the needs of your specific coral species:

Coral Food

• Phyto- and Zooplankton: Ideal for filter-feeding corals, these foods replicate natural food sources and provide a high level of nutrients.

• Granular and Pellet Foods: Specially formulated for corals, these foods come in convenient forms for target feeding or broadcasting.

• Marine Algae: Algae-based coral foods are especially suitable for LPS and soft corals that rely on photosynthesis and external feeding.

• Live or Frozen Options: Provide corals with live or frozen food like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp, which are high in protein for growth.

Amino Acids

• Amino Acid Supplements: These supplements contain essential amino acids that support protein synthesis and growth in corals.

• Amino Acids for Colouration: Certain amino acids stimulate the production of pigments in corals, enhancing their colour and overall health.

• LPS and SPS-Specific Aminos: Targeted formulas designed for different types of corals, offering tailored support for small polyp stony or large polyp stony corals.

How to Feed Your Corals

Proper feeding of your corals is key to ensuring they get the nutrients they need. Here are some tips:

1. Feed Once or Twice a Week: Corals typically don’t need daily feeding. Once or twice a week is sufficient for most species.

2. Target Feed: For better nutrient absorption, target-feed corals with coral food using a turkey baster or pipette.

3. Use Amino Acids Regularly: Supplement amino acids weekly or as per the product’s instructions to maintain growth and colouration.

4. Avoid Overfeeding: Be mindful of overfeeding, as uneaten food can cause water quality issues. Remove any excess food after feeding.
