Fish & Coral Food

Fish food and coral food

A varied diet keeps fish colorful and corals growing. Our fish food and coral food includes frozen mysis and brine shrimp, pellets, flakes, seaweed sheets, freeze-dried foods and liquid coral foods.

Choosing the right food

Match the food to the animal. Carnivores, such as clownfish and wrasses, do well on meaty frozen and pellet foods. Herbivores, like tangs and rabbitfish, need seaweed every day. Many LPS corals also enjoy target feeding with small meaty foods.

Feed small amounts once or twice a day. In general, only feed what your fish eat in a minute or two, because leftovers pollute the water.

Common questions

Is frozen food better than pellets?

Both have a place. Frozen food is closer to a natural diet, and high-quality pellets are convenient. Many reefers feed both.

Do corals need to be fed?

Many corals get most of their energy from light. Even so, feeding helps many corals grow faster and color up.
