Description
1. Nutrient-Rich for Filter Feeders
Tetraselmis is packed with:
-
Essential fatty acids (EPA & DHA)
-
Amino acids
-
Pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids
These nutrients are ideal for filter feeders like clams, feather dusters, sponges, copepods, and amphipods, which in turn support fish and coral health.
2. Improves Water Quality
By consuming excess nutrients (like nitrate and phosphate) during growth, Tetraselmis:
-
Helps reduce nuisance algae outbreaks
-
Contributes to biological balance in the tank
3. Boosts Zooplankton Populations
Tetraselmis is an excellent food source for:
-
Copepods and rotifers, which are essential live food for many fish and coral larvae
-
Supporting a self-sustaining microfauna population in refugiums or display tanks
4. Enhances Coral Color and Growth
Indirectly, by enriching the food chain and providing vital nutrients, Tetraselmis:
-
Supports SPS/LPS coral coloration
-
Helps non-photosynthetic corals get additional nutrition
5. Natural and Safe
-
No synthetic additives or preservatives when properly cultured
-
Easily digestible and non-polluting when used in appropriate doses
