Description
The "Superfood of the Sea" – Arctic Zooplankton for Serious Keepers & Coral Farms.
Stock up on the ultimate reef fuel with the PE Frozen Calanus 16oz Flat Pack. This bulk-sized flat pack offers the same premium, sustainably harvested Calanus finmarchicus zooplankton as the blister packs, but in a convenient, cost-effective sheet designed for heavy feeders, large systems, or aquaculture facilities.
Harvested from the pristine Arctic waters, these copepods are a "nutritional engine" for your tank. Packed with unique wax esters and high levels of astaxanthin, PE Calanus provides a concentrated energy source that promotes rapid growth and explosive coloration in both fish and corals. The thin flat-pack design allows you to easily snap off the exact portion you need, minimizing waste and making daily feeding a breeze.
Why Choose the 16oz Flat Pack?
-
Best Value for Volume: Ideal for hobbyists with large tanks (100g+), multiple aquariums, or coral frag systems. Get more premium food for your money compared to blister packs.
-
Easy-Snap Convenience: The flat sheet format is designed to be brittle enough to snap off clean chunks without needing to thaw the entire package.
-
Intense Color Enhancement: Naturally rich in Astaxanthin (approx. 120ppm), this food triggers vibrant reds, oranges, and pinks in Anthias, Wrasses, and LPS corals.
-
"Wax Ester" Energy: Unlike standard fats, the wax esters in Calanus provide high-density, easily digestible energy that fuels high-activity fish without polluting the water column.
-
Bio-Encapsulated Nutrition: Harvested while feeding on phytoplankton, these whole, intact copepods are gut-loaded with essential fatty acids (EPA/DHA) and SDA, critical for long-term immune health.
Ideal For:

Large Systems: Reef tanks 100 gallons and up.
-
Coral Farms & Frag Tanks: Excellent particle size for feeding diverse beds of LPS and filter feeders.
