Reef Phytoplankton is a concentrated blend of green and brown marine phytoplankton designed to provide essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, amino acids , with biological carotenoids for the invertebrate diet. Size ranges from 1-20 μm to feed a wide range of invertebrates and tropical marine aquarium filter feeders.
Reef Phytoplankton contains a natural source of carotenoids that provides essential proteins and a more bioavailable pigment source compared to other natural sources and synthetic pigments. Carotenoids provide the added benefit of antioxidant activity.
Additionally, Reef Phytoplankton has been enhanced to increase the bioavailability of important nutrients such as proteins, lipids, B vitamins, and other organic pigments, therefore the corals consume less energy to obtain the nutritional benefit.
It is blended to contain the proper ratio of fatty acids, carbohydrates, and protein. The combination of phytoplankton produces a better nutritional value . Studies show higher consumption of phytoplankton in filter feeders when mixed cultures are used versus a single phytoplankton culture.
