Description

  • Our premium Live Copepod cultures are the gold standard for established reef tanks and new setups alike. Unlike many frozen foods, copepods provide a complete nutritional profile, including the essential fatty acids required for the long-term health of sensitive marine fish.
  • Key Benefits:
    • Essential for Mandarins: Provides a self-sustaining food source for Mandarinfish, Seahorses, and Anthias that often refuse frozen or dry foods.
    • Reef Clean-up Crew: These “micro-scavengers” consume film algae, diatoms, and detritus, helping to maintain a pristine aquarium environment.
    • Enhanced Coral Vitality: Triggers a strong feeding response in SPS and LPS corals, leading to improved polyp extension and faster growth rates.
    • Biodiversity Booster: Helps establish a natural food web within your refugium and live rock, creating a more resilient ecosystem.
  • Feeding & Introduction:
    • Acclimation: Float the bottle in your tank for 15 minutes to equalize temperature.
    • Introduction: Pour directly into your refugium or onto live rock at night (when fish are less active) to allow the copepods to find cover and begin breeding.
