There are so many options when it comes to feeding your corals, but how do you choose the right one? Here are some tips on what to look for in a coral feeder:

Nutramar Ova
If you are looking for a quality feed for your corals, then Nutramar Ova may be the answer. These eggs are made of 100% natural, frozen prawn eggs and are perfect for small to medium-sized fish and corals. They are high in protein and HUFAs, so they can feed your tank’s inhabitants without getting too much waste in the process. It is also very easy to feed your corals, and is packaged flat in a convenient, resealable pouch. You can also keep Nutramar Ova frozen once you open the pouch.
Another popular coral food is Nutramar Ova, a liquid supplement made from 100% natural prawn eggs. This highly nutritious food is one sixteenth of an inch in diameter, and is perfect for smaller fish and corals that are picky eaters. It is also low in water, making it dense and long-lasting. You can mix it with other foods for your corals, too, if you prefer.
Phytoplex
The benefits of Phytoplex far outweigh the drawbacks of other feeding systems. Its complex blend of nutrients is perfect for feeding corals, while avoiding a variety of possible negative effects on water quality. While this method does have its advantages, it is not ideal for all aquariums. For example, if you want to feed only certain types of corals, this method isn’t ideal for you. In addition, it can be time-consuming and expensive and can even be harmful to copepods and other invertebrates.
Phytoplex contains a blend of natural phytoplankton. This includes the Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis, and Isochrysis algae. These ingredients have high EPA and DHA lipid levels, which are essential for healthy coral growth. Phytoplex also provides nutrients for live animals like clams, shrimp, and larvae. Moreover, it contains a small amount of protein.
Coral Frenzy
One of the best things about Coral Frenzy is the fact that it is easy to use, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. Unlike other coral foods, this formula contains pellets that are easy to squirt into high-flow areas without causing any damage to the water. In addition, it is formulated with legitimately good ingredients that are not going to degrade or dissolve into the water column.
Both Reef-Roids and Coral Frenzy are great coral food options, but the latter is better value for money. Reef-Roids only offer a few different types of food, while Coral Frenzy is more versatile. It is ideal for feeding both LPS and SPS corals. You can purchase Reef-Roids in both pellets and powder form, depending on the type of coral you keep in your aquarium.
AlgaeBarn’s Mandarin Feeder Kit
This AlgaeBarn’s Mandarin Feeder Kit is a must-have for any aquarium owner with picky anthias or Mandarin fish. This filter feeder is ideal for feeding both juvenile and adult Mandarin fish. And it’s also great for feeding small Butterflies, who love Omega-3 fatty acids. If you want to give your fish the best chance of thriving in your tank, the Mandarin Feeder Kit is a must-have!
The 5 Bottle Live Food Package is a perfect fit for your Mandarin fish. It contains a mix of Tisbe and Tiger pods, and ocean Magik phytoplankton. The live food package has a high ratio of phytoplankton to Tisbe mollusks and other invertebrates. The mix is easy to use and comes in 64 oz and 128 oz sizes. It is also guaranteed to arrive alive and healthy.
Polyp Lab Reef-Roids
Polyp Lab Reef-Roids is a concentrated food mix that you can squirt onto the coral polyps. You can also target feed your corals by dispersing the mixture in a high flow area. However, due to customs restrictions, it is not currently available for shipping to Canada. Nevertheless, the slurry is the best feeder for target feeding. Using a bulb syringe or squirting the slurry into the tank is an excellent way to feed corals. Make sure to turn off all pumps and filtration before feeding your corals.
Unlike some other commercially available feeders, Polyp Lab Reef-Roids are made from natural marine plankton and zooplankton species. It helps in fast growth, excellent coloration and minimal degradation of water. This coral food also contains species of zooplankton that are essential for filter feeding corals. Moreover, the food contains up to 87% less plastic and 25% more product compared to traditional feeds.
Two Little Fishies’ Marine Snow
A good coral feeder is not going to feed your fish a full meal. You will have to supplement with foods like marine snow. Marine snow is a dense food source that is created in the upper layers of the ocean by filter-feeding invertebrates. This product contains zooplankton, particulate and dissolved organic matter, and fatty acids. Two Little Fishies’ Marine Snow mimics these nutrients so your corals will thrive.
A quality coral feed will not cost you an arm and a leg. Look for products that are easy to use and offer the right amount of nutrients. Organic meal is ideal for filter-feeding invertebrates and corals. It is rich in amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. Organic meal is easy to store in the refrigerator. Once opened, warm it up for 15 minutes before feeding. Once it has come to room temperature, feeding will become easier.
