Oyster Eggs as a Coral Food Source

One of the difficulties in the maintenance of reef aquaria is the ability to provide consistent, nutritious and usable food resources that help to reproduce the large amount of particulate food or zooplankton available on natural reefs. Late in the summer of 2003, Dennis Tagrin, of DT`s Plankton Farm, provided me with a food source he had been considering as a marketable product and asked for my analysis of its utility for reef aquaria.

Under the microscope, the cell density of the product was extremely high and the addition of 1mL of the eggs produced a high particle count in a 55-gallon reef tank (sufficient to feed every coral polyp several times over!). The eggs are approximately 40-50 microns in size, making them an excellent size for capture by corals and other filter feeding invertebrates.

These oyster eggs have a very good nutritional profile, and appear to maintain their nutritional value over long periods of frozen storage. The eggs have a strong "fresh ocean" smell, and elicit a strong feeding response from both fish and invertebrates. I greatly look forward to the regular availability of this product as a natural and beneficial plankton-subsitute for my other reef systems.

- Eric H. Borneman

These eggs are 40 to 50 microns in size. There are about 3,000,000 eggs per ml. One just 1ml (1/5 tsp) will feed a heavily populated 50-75 gallon tank. Great for SPS coral polyps, especially acroporas. The eggs contain lots of Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA essential to your coral’s health. This is an excellent zooplankton substitute.

Excellent!

Condensed Power by headtreads

Comments: Works very well with most corals that I have fed. Not just for SPS. Make sure that you don't overfeed since 1 ml feeds up to 75g. I noticed this product works very well with cyclopeez.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
