Ocean Nutrition Coral Pellets offer an ultimate, off-the-shelf solution for feeding a wide array of marine corals with unparalleled ease and efficiency. Formulated to mimic natural marine environments, these sinking pellets are packed with delicious planktonic prey items like copepods and krill. Developed specifically to fulfill the micro-planktivorous needs of smaller corals and the macro-planktivorous demands of large-polyp stony (LPS) corals, this luxury food utilizes a soft, semi-moist structure to ensure immediate acceptance, optimal digestion, and minimal nutrient waste in closed reef ecosystems.
These pellets combine high-quality marine proteins with specialized feeding stimulants to maximize polyp extension and coral vitality.
Dual Pellet Sizes (2.5mm & 6mm): Available in two distinct sizes to target different species. The 2.5mm (Small) pellets are perfect for Ricordea and small LPS like Acanthastrea and Blastomussa, while the 6mm (Large) pellets are enthusiastically consumed by large LPS like Scolymia and Trachyphyllia.
Soft Semi-Moist Texture: The cold-pressed, soft structure is engineered for optimal acceptance, allowing delicate coral tissue to easily manipulate, ingest, and digest the food without regurgitation.
Targeted Feeding Response: Infused with highly selected, water-soluble molecules that immediately dissolve upon contact with the aquarium, triggering an unmistakable and aggressive feeding response from coral polyps.
Luxury Prey Profile: Formulated with a rich composition of authentic marine copepods, fish fillets, krill, squid, adult brine shrimp, and marine fish eggs to supply an identical amino acid profile to wild reef diets.
Nitrogen-Flushed Freshness: Every jar features a nitrogen-flushed inner foil pouch that locks out oxygen, preventing the oxidation of delicate marine lipids and ensuring long-lasting nutritional potency.

How often should I feed my corals with these pellets? It is recommended to feed every other day. To maintain pristine water quality and avoid overfeeding, target a maximum of 30% of the polyps in any given coral colony per feeding session.
What is the best way to store this coral food? Unopened jars can be stored at room temperature. However, after breaking the inner foil seal, it is highly advised to store the jar in the fridge (4–6°C) for prolonged preservation of the semi-moist texture and nutrient profiles.
How can I prevent the pellets from spoiling early? Always ensure that you avoid leaking or dripping aquarium moisture into the package during use. Excess water introduced into the jar will break down the preservatives and compromise the semi-moist integrity of the remaining food.
Do I need to turn off my aquarium pumps when feeding? Yes. Because these are sinking pellets designed for direct target feeding, turning off your return pump and wavemakers for 10 to 15 minutes allows you to place the pellets directly onto the coral mouths without them blowing away into the rockwork.
