Bacto Plankton from Tropic Eden is a new food for filter feeders consisting of 15 types of live bacterioplankton. The particle size of Tropic Eden’s Live Marine Bacto Plankton ranges in size from 0.2 to 2.0 microns (1000 microns = 1mm) so we’re talking about some really really tiny food.
Filter feeding reef life that operates in the size range of Tropic Eden’s Bacto Plankton includes sea squirts, clams and other bivalves, sponges, bryozoans, feather dusters and some soft corals but not so much stony corals. Tropic Eden Marine Bacto Plankton is available in three sizes starting at $19.99 for the 16oz bottle which seems like a perfect size to test out if picky Dendronephthya corals might respond well to this small sized food.
