Coral Food
About Coral Food
Coral Food gives (directly or indirectly) highly nutritional particles ranging
in size from 5 - 150 micron and dissolved natural polymeric and monomeric
nutrients. When dosed according to the instructions corals will have sufficient
food to thrive without polluting the water. The organic load caused by this
supplement is comparable to what is found in pristine seawater. This food is
also ideal for sponges, tunicates, feather duster worms and many other
organisms.
Coral Food tries to replicate replicate most of the food found in nature where
the corals thrive.
About feeding corals
Soft, leather and hard corals and many other organisms are highly capable in
catching food particles. But then the particle size must be within a certain
range and it should signal the organisms that this is what they are waiting for.
That is, it has the nutrients they require.
Another way in which corals can obtain nutrients is through their tissue. Such
nutrients must meet several criteria otherwise they will not be transported
through the tissue or will pollute the water heavily.
All the nutrients obtained by the above described ways are used for growth and
energy. This energy is used to carry out important biological processes
resulting in well-being of the corals and other organisms.
Some corals obtain a part of the food from the symbiotic algae but additional
feeding on a regular basis with foods described above shows major improvements
in time.
The food they obtain by catching and by transport through their tissue contains
fatty acids, vitamins, polymeric carbohydrates, proteins with a proper amino
acid composition and some trace minerals bound to the proteins and
carbohydrates. Coral Food contains similar substances.
Directions:
Shake before use.
Regular maintenance:
