Ocean Nutrition Frozen Copepods 100g

Provide premium planktonic nutrition for small-mouthed marine species and reef invertebrates with Ocean Nutrition Frozen Copepods (100g Blister Pack). Freshly harvested and flash-frozen to retain maximum nutritional value, these micro-crustaceans (0.5–0.8mm size) exhibit natural buoyancy in saltwater, drifting through the water column to perfectly mimic natural floating prey.

Naturally packed with highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), easily digestible marine proteins, and vibrant astaxanthin pigments, frozen copepods fuel healthy growth and bring out rich natural coloration in marine organisms. They are an indispensable food source for delicate micro-predators like Dragonets, Seahorses, and Pipefish, as well as SPS/LPS corals and filter-feeding invertebrates.

Key Features & Benefits

• Rich in HUFAs & Astaxanthin: Naturally concentrated levels of highly unsaturated fatty acids and red carotenoid pigments promote robust health and vivid coloration.

• Natural Seawater Buoyancy: Suspends gracefully in current movements, mimicking real zooplankton drifts to entice hunting instincts in delicate feeders.

• Micro-Sized Organisms: 0.5–0.8mm organism size makes this diet accessible for tiny fish mouths, coral polyps, and invertebrate tentacles.

• Highly Digestible Protein: Delivers clean, easily absorbed marine protein to fuel tissue repair and continuous growth.

• Hygienic Blister Pack: Pre-portioned 100g blister cubes enable easy, mess-free daily feeding for reef aquariums.

• Stony Corals & Soft Corals (e.g., SPS Corals, LPS Corals, Zoanthids, Gorgonians, Anemones)

• Filter-Feeding Invertebrates (e.g., Feather Dusters, Flame Scallops, Clams, Ornamental Shrimps)

• Freshwater Fry & Nano Fish (e.g., Micro Rasboras, Endlers, Baby Cichlids)

Feeding Instructions

Push out the required number of frozen cubes into a small container. Allow the copepods to defrost completely at room temperature without water for 10 to 15 minutes before introducing them into the aquarium or target-feeding corals. Feed 2 to 5 times daily, providing only the amount your fish and corals can consume within 5 minutes. Turn off mechanical filtration briefly during feeding if target-feeding corals. Never refreeze thawed food.
