The world’s first dual-purpose coral food, Coralific Delite is an excellent choice for filter feeding soft corals and zoanthids. It contains phytoplankton, zooplankton, bacteria cells, and other organic particles. In addition to its dual-purpose benefits, it is cost-effective and can be used to feed filter feeding soft corals. Read on to learn about Coralific Delite and why it’s a great choice.

Coralific Delite is the world’s first dual-purpose coral food
Hikari has introduced Coralific Delite, a revolutionary new food that can be used in two different feeding modes: broadcast and target feeding. The material contains all of the nutrients that corals need to grow and flourish, including proteins, trace elements, astaxanthin, and vitamins. Coralific Delite has the same physical properties as floating zooplankton, and is not prone to clump or dissolve quickly in the tank. It doesn’t cloud the water, and is available everywhere.
This unique food is suitable for both soft and hard corals. The horny and feather duster corals are examples of soft corals, which have a smaller mouth than hard corals. Because they feed on soft corals, they require nutrients from small water-borne plants. Coralific Delite is rich in these elements, and is perfect for feeding these hard-to-keep species.
It contains phytoplankton-phytoplankton, zooplankton, bacteria cells and other organic particles
A recent study of four hundred clones of phytoplankton found that 44% of them required vitamin B12, 20% needed thiamin, and 4% needed biotin. The amount of these vitamins and minerals varied according to the species, and diatoms have different requirements than dinoflagellates. Most species of phytoplankton require nanomolar concentrations of trace elements, including zinc, iron, copper, and manganese, which can be toxic in higher concentrations. While the nutrients they require are obtained from the food, the sources of these trace elements are believed to be in the water, from the death of other microalgae, which in turn release substances into the water.
Live phytoplankton cultures, such as Prochlorococcus marinus, occur at depths of 250 metres in the tropical and subtropical oceans. Some of them are important in wild populations, but are harmful to aquarium inhabitants. Cyanobacterial blooms have been linked to coral, snail, and echinoderm deaths. Furthermore, substrate associated algae may be circulating in the water and are a major cause of coral deaths.
It is a cost-effective option for filter feeding soft corals
If you’re looking for a filter feeding solution for your soft corals, you’ll want to try Coralific Delite. This low-viscosity liquid contains all the necessary nutrients soft corals need to grow and thrive. Unlike traditional sponges, this formula is squirt-able, allowing you to apply a small amount to the mouth of your coral. The food is made with high-quality ingredients for the best nutritional value for your corals.
Filter-feeding soft corals can be costly, but it can greatly benefit your reef. Soft corals need suspended nutrients to grow and thrive, and detrital matter is a rich source of these nutrients. However, too much sediment can hinder their growth and health. This detritus can clog their chambers, blocking light and feeding. It can also cause a variety of health issues in your corals.
It is a good choice for zoanthids
Coralific delite is a good choice if you have a zoanthid colony in your aquarium. This coral food is ideal for zoanthids because it will help them grow and multiply. You can add this food to the aquarium with a turkey baster once or twice a week. Zoanthids are a common sight in coral reefs around the world. They come in many sizes and shapes, including single polyps and entire colonies.
Most zoanthids require moderate aquarium lighting, but brightly colored morphs can tolerate very intense light. Corals are a relatively easy to maintain group and propagate once they reach an appropriate size. However, feeding them is not necessary. This coral is able to tolerate a moderate level of light. To promote the fastest growth, you should place your corals in areas of the tank with the highest amounts of natural light.
