Freeze-dried food is nutritionally complete, often even better than many frozen preparations. shrimp, serve as an excellent alternative to live and frozen food options. We’ve found over years of testing that freeze dried plankton, from tiny rotifers and calanoid copepods to larger mysis and Euphasia sp.

However, as aquarists, it is usually not feasible for us to administer a continuous, low-density supply of small, nutritious food items in our rapidly and heavily filtered reef aquaria. Many reef fish and most corals have evolved to continuously eat small prey items out of the water column.
