Introduce the “ultimate cleanup crew” and a gourmet live feast to your aquarium withReef SeaCrits. This 4oz bottle is packed with thousands of liveTigriopus californicuscopepods, specifically chosen for their hardiness, nutritional density, and relentless work ethic in a reef environment.

The “SeaCrits” to a Thriving Reef

Reef SeaCrits are more than just a food source; they are a vital biological tool for maintaining a pristine ecosystem. These pods serve as the “worker bugs” of your tank, scouring every crevice for hidden waste while providing the essential “missing 10%” of nutrition that helps corals and finicky fish transition from surviving to thriving.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Density Live Population:Each 4oz bottle contains approximately2,000 to 3,000 live copepods, ensuring a significant boost to your tank’s microfauna population in a single dose.
• Natural Cleanup Crew:Tigriopus californicuspods are active scavengers that tackle detritus, fish waste, and microalgae, helping to keep your rockwork and substrate clean.
• Superior Live Food Source:Known as a “delectable snack” for reef inhabitants, these pods are the perfect food for Mandarins, Wrasses, Seahorses, and Dragonets. Their jerky swimming motion triggers a natural predatory hunting response.
• Innovative Breathable Packaging:Featuring a specialized breathable cap, these bottles allow for gas exchange, ensuring the pods remain oxygenated and healthy without the need for manual venting by the user.
• Nutritional “Gut-Loading”:Each bottle is mixed with a small amount of live phytoplankton to keep the pods “fat” and nutritionally dense during shipping and storage.

Species Spotlight: Tigriopus Californicus

• Size & Visibility:These are larger, reddish-orange copepods that are easily visible to the naked eye, making it easy to track their progress in your tank.
• Resilience:Extremely hardy and capable of surviving in various temperature and salinity ranges.
• Nutritional Profile:Rich in essential amino acids and fatty acids, they provide a concentrated burst of energy for corals (especially LPS) and small-mouthed fish.

The Perfect “Cocktail” Pairing

Usage & Storage

• Acclimation:While hardy, it is best to add pods to your tank at night (after lights out) to give them a chance to find hiding spots in the rockwork before fish can hunt them.
• Storage:For best results, use immediately. If necessary, they can be kept at room temperature for short periods, but avoid extreme heat or cold.
• Ideal For:Seeding new tanks, replenishing pod populations in established reefs, and feeding “difficult” carnivorous fish.
