Reef Nutrition Arcti-Pods Arctic Copepod Concentrate 16oz

Product details

Reef Nutrition Arcti-Pods Arctic Copepod Concentrate 16oz is a planktonic copepod food concentrate made for marine aquariums. Practically, you use it to enrich and supplement the diet of both fish and many common invertebrate feeders by providing whole, intact copepods from an arctic source. It’s often used as a feeding option for systems that want a biologically based, copepod-style meal rather than a purely processed food.

• Large, nutrition-packed planktonic copepods (3000 microns) that mimic natural feeding behavior
• Harvested fresh from arctic waters, with whole and intact biological organisms included
• Nutritionally rich profile, including carotenoids, protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and waxy esters
• Contains benign food grade additives and no phosphates have been added
• Designed to be attractive to finicky reef fish (including mandarin dragonets) and useful for invertebrate feeders such as LPS corals, anemones, zoanthids, and brittle stars
