They typically contain 20–40% protein, 10–25% lipids, and valuable omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, supporting tissue growth, coloration, and immune function. Species such as Isochrysis, Nannochloropsis, and Tetraselmis are especially rich in HUFAs and pigments, helping drive coral health and vibrant colour. Phytoplankton also contribute vitamins, amino acids, and trace minerals (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus), which sustain coral metabolism and skeletal development. Regular dosing maintains reef stability and fuels zooplankton growth, indirectly supporting fish and invertebrates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage instructions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeaviest dose: 10 ml per 100 L.
