Polyp Lab Reef-Roids – Engineered Particulate Coral Food

Polyp Lab Reef-Roids – Engineered Particulate Coral Food

Polyp Lab Reef-Roids is a world-renowned, naturally occurring marine plankton mix designed specifically for the nutritional needs of various coral species. Originally developed for the challenging care of Goniopora, its success has made it a staple for all filter-feeding corals, including Zoanthids, Mushrooms, and SPS. Unlike many "coral foods" that are simply ground-up fish meal, Reef-Roids is a specialized blend of marine planktons that provides a high-protein, nutrient-dense diet without the excessive waste that can degrade water quality.

Maximum Polyp Extension & Rapid Growth

Reef-Roids is engineered to trigger an immediate feeding response while providing the essential building blocks for coral tissue development.

• Instant Feeding Stimulant: Formulated to induce massive polyp extension within minutes of introduction, ensuring your corals are ready to capture and ingest nutrients.

• Ideal Particle Size: With a range of 150–200 microns, these particles are the perfect size for both small-polyp stony corals (SPS) and large-polyp stony corals (LPS).

• Minimal Impact on Water Quality: Highly digestible formula ensures that more nutrients go into the coral and less into the water column as waste, helping to prevent phosphate spikes.

• Enhances Natural Coloration: Rich in marine proteins and fatty acids that support the production of vibrant chromoproteins and fluorescent pigments.

• Natural Plankton Blend: Contains no processed fillers or land-based proteins, relying strictly on high-quality marine sources that mimic a natural reef environment.

  FAQ Section: Common Questions

  • How do I feed Polyp Lab Reef-Roids? Broadcast Feeding: Mix one teaspoon with a small amount of tank water for every 100 gallons and pour into a high-flow area. Target Feeding: For better results, use a syringe or pipette to target specific colonies while your circulation pumps are briefly turned off.

  • How often should I use it? For most reef systems, feeding 2 to 3 times per week is ideal. Monitor your nutrient levels (nitrate and phosphate) and adjust the frequency accordingly.

  • Does it float or sink? Reef-Roids is designed to remain suspended in the water column for an extended period, giving filter feeders ample time to capture the particles before they settle.

  • Is it safe for all corals? Yes, it is highly beneficial for SPS, LPS, soft corals, and non-photosynthetic (NPS) corals. It is even safe for other filter feeders like sponges and clams.
