  • Description

    Overview
    • Provides numerous elements important to the
    formation of various biochromes (biological
    pigments), complex molecules that give coloration
    to plant and animal cells through their selective
    color-absorption and -reflection characteristics.
    • Formulated specifically to provide trace quantities
    of elements for gradual incorporation into, and
    formation of, biochromes known to occur within
    zooxanthellae, such as chlorophylls a and c, beta
    carotene, and xanthophylls.
    • Does not influence population density of
    zooxanthellae, which would put the overall
    health and survival of the host organism in a
    precarious situation.
    • Formulated by a marine scientist.
    Technical Background
    In many ways, aquarium husbandry may be thought of as an artistic expression of the hobbyist in which living organisms are the figurative colors on a painter's canvas. Images of vividly-colored marine fishes and invertebrates co-existing in reef ecosystems are the inspiration of many marine aquarium hobbyists, and the acquisition (and maintenance) of healthy, colorful corals and clams is a primary aspect of achieving the desired appearance of a captive reef habitat. Much of the observed coloration of corals, clams, and their allies, is attributable to biological pigments created by symbiotic zooxanthellae residing within their tissues. These pigments are termed
