This combo pack contains a 16 ounce bottle of our Reef Snacklebox™ and a 16 ounce bottle of our Live Phyto Blend. The Reef Snacklebox™ contains rotifers to feed your corals and copepods which clean your tank of detritus and serve as a tasty snack for both corals and picky fish. Certain fish like mandarins, pipefish, and many wrasses will exclusively eat copepods.

Our live phytoplankton blend will feed your corals, especially non-photosynthetic (NPS) corals and your filter feeders such as clams and feather dusters. Most important, the phyto will also feed the copepods and rotifers included in the Reef Snacklebox™.

Amphipods

Amphipods


Amphipods are voracious detritovores, doing many of the same jobs as copepods, but consuming even more detritus and nuisance algae. They are also great to feed finicky fish and seahorses.
