I’ve been using Reef Phytoplankton for several months now and noticed a significant improvement in the color and activity of my shrimp and snails. The particles are fine and easily consumed. My corals have also shown better feeding behavior.

It’s a bit harder to find since it’s a special order, but once received, it works well. My hermit crabs and small invertebrates are more active and vibrant. The natural pigmentation is noticeable in the tank.
