Brightwell Aquatics Zooplanktos-L is a highly concentrated suspension of zooplankton ranging in size from 500 to 2,000 microns (2mm). This makes it the ideal food for a variety of aquatic organisms such as stony corals, clams, larval crustaceans, juvenile fish, and planktivorous and microinvertebrate-predatory fish. Formulated by a marine scientist, this suspension contains a variety of amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and xanthophyll, making it extremely nutritious for its consumers. In addition, a proprietary amino acid has been added to promote vivid coloration in corals and other marine invertebrates. With a small percentage of vitamin-C added, this suspension also aids in the health and coloration of recently propagated or fragmented corals. Zooplanktos-L can be used in combination with other planktonic suspensions for a complete range of sizes to feed filter-feeding

Initial Care Instructions

Once your coral arrives, float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then, begin a drip acclimation process or slowly add small amounts of tank water to the bag every 5 minutes over 30–45 minutes.

2. Inspect and Dip:

Before placing the coral in your tank, inspect it for pests or hitchhikers. We strongly recommend using a coral dip solution to remove potential parasites or algae. Follow the dip instructions carefully and rinse with clean saltwater before introducing to your display.

3. Placement:

Start the coral in a low to moderate light and flow area to help reduce stress. Over the next week, gradually move it to its ideal lighting and flow conditions based on species needs.

4. Monitor Water Parameters:

Ensure stable water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, etc.) and maintain good tank flow. Watch closely for signs of stress or tissue recession and adjust placement if necessary.

5. Patience Pays Off:

Corals often take a few days to fully open up after shipping. Give them time to adjust—avoid sudden lighting changes or overhandling during this period.
