Fauna Marin 100% Natural Ocean Plankton is a high-quality, freshly preserved food source consisting of real Calanus plankton (Calanus helgolandicus) harvested from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the North Atlantic. Unlike traditional frozen or dried foods, this plankton is preserved using a specialized process that maintains its liquid state and nutritional integrity without the need for freezing. It is an ideal food for all marine fish, particularly finicky eaters, and is highly beneficial for LPS (Large Polyp Stony) corals and Azooxanthellate (non-photosynthetic) corals that require meaty, planktonic prey.
Ocean Plankton provides the biological profile that marine organisms have evolved to consume in the wild.
Rich in Omega-3 & Omega-6: Packed with essential fatty acids (EPA/DHA) that support healthy growth, vibrant coloration, and a robust immune system.
Natural Antioxidant Power: Contains high levels of Astaxanthin, a natural pigment that enhances the red and orange colors of fish and corals.
Ideal Particle Size: The plankton ranges from 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm, making it the perfect size for most reef fish and the large polyps of corals like Acanthastrea, Scolymia, and Lobatophyllia.
Ready to Use: No thawing or rinsing required. The plankton is suspended in its own natural juices, which contain amino acids that act as a powerful feeding stimulant.
Sustainable Harvest: Collected using ecologically responsible methods from sustainable Arctic stocks, ensuring minimal impact on the marine environment.
How do I feed Fauna Marin Ocean Plankton? Simply shake the bottle and feed directly into the aquarium or use a pipette for target-feeding corals. Start with small amounts once or twice daily.
Do I need to refrigerate it? Yes. Once opened, the bottle must be refrigerated to maintain its freshness and nutritional value. An unopened bottle has a long shelf life at room temperature.
Is it better than frozen food? Because it is not frozen, the cellular structure of the plankton remains intact. This prevents the "leaching" of nutrients often seen when thawing frozen food, keeping more nutrition inside the fish and less in the water column.
Will it increase my phosphate levels? Like any high-protein food, overfeeding can lead to a rise in nutrients. However, because it is highly digestible, fish utilize more of the energy, resulting in less waste compared to lower-quality flake or pellet foods.
Fauna Marin Coral Dust: A finer planktonic food for SPS corals and small-polyp filter feeders.
