Brightwell PhytoGreen-M - Green Phytoplankton (Medium) 10-15 micron 500 ml / 17 fl. oz.
Overview Provides phytoplankton ranging in size from 10 - 15µm. Ideally-sized for many soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, and larval invertebrates. Formulated to provide over 650-million phytoplankton cells per ml. Does not require refrigeration. Supplemented with a proprietary amino acid to aid in coloration of invertebrates. Formulated by a marine scientist. Technical Background Brightwell Aquatics PhytōGreen-M is a concentrated suspension of Tetraselmis sp., a unicellular marine algae ranging in size from 10 - 15µm and having a relatively high amino acid content compared to many other species of phytoplankton; it is also quite rich in the omega-3 fatty acid EPA, as well as in Chlorophyll A. Tetraselmis falls within the size class of plankton known as nanoplankton (2.0 - 20.0µm), which is sometimes considered microplankton. It is the proper size for feeding many species of soft corals (particularly those with short tentacles), as well as clams and other bivalves
