Ocean Nutrition Frozen Red Plankton 100g

Enhance natural vibrancy and fuel marine life with Ocean Nutrition Frozen Red Plankton (100g Blister Pack). Harvested from the cold, nutrient-dense waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, Red Plankton (Calanus finmarchicus) is a naturally rich, omnivorous copepod (2–3mm size) that forms a critical staple in the marine food chain.

Naturally packed with high concentrations of astaxanthin and essential omega-3 fatty acids, Red Plankton acts as a potent, natural color enhancer that intensifies red, pink, and orange body pigments across fish and coral tissue. Upon introduction to the aquarium, these micro-crustaceans disperse evenly throughout the water column, ensuring surface feeders, mid-water swimmers, and polyp-extending corals all receive equal access to vital nutrition.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Astaxanthin Concentration: Abundant natural carotenoids quickly bring out brilliant red, orange, and pink coloration in marine life.

• Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: High lipid content supports metabolic health, immune resilience, and structural tissue repair.

• Even Water Column Dispersion: Disperses smoothly through water currents to feed wide-spreading coral polyps and active fish.

• Natural North Atlantic Copepods: Authentic Calanus finmarchicus zooplankton replicates the natural diet of wild reef inhabitants.

• Hygienic Blister Pack: Individually pre-portioned 100g blister cubes allow quick, accurate, and mess-free daily feeding routines.
