Ocean Nutrition Coral Pellets

Ocean Nutrition Coral Pellets – Premium Food for LPS Corals and Ricordea

Ocean Nutrition Coral Pellets are specially developed pellets for LPS corals and Ricordea in reef aquariums. Their soft, semi-moist texture ensures excellent acceptance by coral polyps and allows for optimal digestibility. In addition, the pellets contain selected molecules that trigger the natural feeding response of corals – the polyps extend fully and are able to capture and ingest the food more efficiently.

Do Corals Need Feeding?

Yes. While corals can obtain part of their energy from light through their symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae), this is often not sufficient to ensure healthy growth, regeneration, and intense coloration. LPS corals and Ricordea in particular benefit from additional nutrients that support their overall health, vitality, and color development in reef tanks.

Why Feeding with Coral Pellets Is Important

Regular feeding with Coral Pellets helps your corals grow better, display stronger coloration, and remain more resilient. The pellets are designed to be easily captured by coral polyps. Different pellet sizes allow for targeted, species-appropriate feeding:

• Small pellets (~2.5 mm): For Ricordea and smaller LPS corals such as Acanthastrea, Blastomussa, or Lobophyllia

• Large pellets (~6 mm): For larger LPS corals such as Scolymia, Trachyphyllia, Duncanopsammia, or Catalaphyllia

Application and Dosage of Coral Pellets

Feed every other day and make sure to feed no more than about one third of the polyps within a coral colony. Do not soak the pellets; instead, place them directly onto the polyps using tweezers or a pipette. This allows the corals to absorb the nutrients efficiently while keeping your reef aquarium clean.

Maximum Quality

For maximum freshness, the pellets are packed in airtight aluminum pouches that are additionally flushed with nitrogen. This prevents oxidation and ensures that all nutrients are fully preserved until the package is opened.
