Polyp Lab Reef-Roids is a world-renowned marine plankton mix formulated to meet the specific nutritional demands of filter-feeding corals. Originally engineered for the challenging care of Goniopora, its success has made it an essential diet for all soft corals, Zoanthids, Mushrooms, LPS, and SPS corals. Unlike traditional coral foods made from ground fish meal, Reef-Roids utilizes a pure, high-protein marine plankton blend that fuels coral growth without overloading your aquarium with excess waste.
Instant Feeding Response: Triggers rapid, massive polyp extension within minutes of introduction, preparing corals to ingest nutrients.
Ideal 150–200 Micron Particle Size: Perfectly sized for effortless capture by both small-polyp stony corals (SPS) and large-polyp stony corals (LPS).
Minimal Impact on Water Quality: Highly digestible formula ensures nutrients are absorbed by corals rather than breaking down into phosphates and nitrates.
Enhances Natural Coloration: Packed with marine proteins and fatty acids that promote vibrant chromoproteins and fluorescent pigmentation.
100% Natural Marine Plankton Blend: Contains zero land-based proteins, fillers, or processed meals, mimicking a natural reef food source.
Target Feeding (Recommended): Mix 1/2 teaspoon of Reef-Roids with a small amount of tank water per 100 gallons (378 L). Use a coral feeder tube or pipette to target-feed the slurry directly onto coral polyps with pumps turned off.
Broadcast Feeding: Mix the dose with tank water and pour it into a high-flow area of the display tank for overall column feeding.
Recommended Frequency: Feed 2 to 3 times per week depending on your coral stocking level and biological filtration capacity.
Particle Size Range: 150–200 Microns
Main Ingredients: Engineered Marine Plankton Mix
Target Livestock: Goniopora, SPS Corals, LPS Corals, Zoanthids, Mushrooms, Filter Feeders
Feeding Method: Spot / Target Feeding or Broadcast Column Dosing
Storage Requirement: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container tightly sealed after use.
Q: Should I turn off my pumps when feeding Reef-Roids? A: Yes. Turning off your return pump and wavemakers for 15 to 20 minutes during target feeding prevents the fine particles from washing away before corals can capture them, and keeps the food out of your protein skimmer.
Q: Can I mix Reef-Roids with liquid coral supplements? A: Absolutely. Many hobbyists combine Reef-Roids with amino acid supplements (such as AcroPower) or liquid vitamins to create a high-potency "reef jerky" slurry for target feeding.
Q: Will Reef-Roids cause a phosphate spike in my reef tank? A: Reef-Roids is specifically formulated to be highly digestible to minimize nutrient waste. However, like any particulate food, overfeeding can lead to elevated nutrients. Stick to the recommended dosage and monitor water parameters.
Red Starfish Coral Feeding Tube: The ultimate spot-feeding tool for delivering precise Reef-Roids slurries directly to Goniopora and LPS coral mouths.
Two Little Fishies AcroPower: Combine amino acids with Reef-Roids to stimulate maximum tissue growth and color development.
Aquaforest Pro Bio S: Helps process any residual organic matter and keeps nitrate and phosphate levels low in tanks receiving regular particulate feeds.
