Brightwell PhytoGreen-S - Green Phytoplankton (Small) 1-2 micron 250 ml /8.5 fl. oz.

Overview Provides phytoplankton ranging in size from 1 - 2µm. Ideally-sized for many soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, and larval invertebrates. Formulated to provide over 1-billion 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-S is a concentrated suspension of Nannochloropsis sp., a unicellular marine algae ranging in size from 1 - 2µm and having a relatively high fatty acid content compared to many other species of phytoplankton; it is particularly rich in the omega-3 fatty acid EPA, as well as in several important amino acids. Nannochlorposis falls within the size class of plankton known as picoplankton (0.2 - 2.0µm), 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
