Description
Aquaforest LPS Food is a premium powdered coral food specifically developed to meet the nutritional requirements of Large Polyp Stony (LPS) corals in marine reef aquariums. Formulated with a carefully balanced blend of marine proteins, crustaceans, molluscs, vitamins, and essential nutrients, this specialised food helps promote healthy growth, vibrant colouration, and improved polyp extension.
Designed for corals such as Acans, Micromussa, Blastomussa, Favia, Favites, Lobophyllia, Trachyphyllia, Scolymia, and Euphyllia species, Aquaforest LPS Food provides larger food particles that are readily accepted by feeding corals. Regular feeding can help support tissue growth, skeletal development, and overall coral vitality while encouraging stronger feeding responses.
The concentrated formula is easy to prepare and can be target fed directly to individual corals or broadcast fed throughout the aquarium. When used as part of a balanced reef nutrition program, Aquaforest LPS Food helps create optimal conditions for thriving LPS coral colonies.
Trusted by reef hobbyists throughout Australia, Aquaforest LPS Food is an excellent choice for reef keepers looking to maximise the health, growth, and appearance of their prized LPS corals.
Common Mistakes
Overfeeding Corals
Excess food that is not consumed can break down and increase nitrate and phosphate levels. Feed only what corals can consume within a reasonable timeframe.
Feeding With Excessive Flow
Strong water movement can blow food away before corals have a chance to capture it. Reduce flow temporarily during target feeding.
Feeding Corals During Closed Polyp Periods
LPS corals often respond best when their feeding tentacles are extended, typically during the evening or lower-light periods.
Ignoring Water Quality
Even with excellent nutrition, poor water quality can limit coral growth and colouration. Stable parameters remain essential.
Feeding Only One Type of Coral Food
A varied feeding program that includes amino acids, planktonic foods, and coral-specific nutrition often produces the best long-term results.
