Reef Roids Nano 37g Coral Food
The coral food filter feeders and LPS actually eat. Reef-Roids Nano is a finely ground, planktonic coral food from Polyplab, sized for nano and smaller reef tanks. Mixed into a paste with tank water and target-fed to filter-feeding corals, it's built around a proprietary marine zooplankton rather than processed fish meal, aimed at boosting polyp extension, colour and growth in corals that can't get enough from photosynthesis alone.
Key features
- Fine, nano-friendly grind – sized for smaller polyps and nano dosing.
- Zooplankton-based, not fish meal – formulated to minimise the water-quality hit that heavier feeds can cause.
- High protein, high fat – 60% crude protein and 20% crude lipid to support growth and colour.
- Astaxanthin included – 150–200 ppm, a carotenoid linked to coral colouration.
- Goes a long way – a 37 g pouch feeds a 50-US-gallon (roughly 190 L) reef for about 3 months at twice-weekly feedings.

Feeding directions
Mix with a little tank water to form a paste, then target-feed with a syringe or turkey baster, or disperse it into the flow. Twice-weekly feeding is typical.
Manufacturer dosing rate: 1 teaspoon of Reef-Roids per 100 US gallons (about 380 litres) of tank volume, or ¼ teaspoon per 25 US gallons (about 95 litres). At that rate, a 37 g pouch feeds a 50-US-gallon (≈190 L) tank for roughly 3 months feeding twice a week. Turn pumps and skimmers off briefly while feeding so more food reaches the corals before it's filtered out.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for filter-feeding corals – LPS, zoanthids, Goniopora, mushroom corals and similar species that capture particulate food.
Not suitable for freshwater tanks, or as a primary food source for corals that feed mainly by photosynthesis with little particulate-feeding response.
Common questions
How much do I feed?
1 teaspoon per 100 US gallons (about 380 L) of tank water, or ¼ teaspoon per 25 US gallons (about 95 L), mixed into a paste with tank water.
How often should I feed it?
Twice a week is the manufacturer's typical rate.
Do I need to turn off my return pump or skimmer?
It helps – switching off flow briefly while feeding keeps more food in front of the corals instead of it being pulled straight into the filter.
How long will a 37 g pouch last?
About 3 months on a 50-US-gallon (≈190 L) tank fed twice weekly, per the manufacturer's figures.
