Fauna Marin Coral Bloom, 200g Oolite Feed Powder
SKU: FM-CBL-77
- Fauna Marin Coral Bloom is a 200g ultra-fine oolite powder that carries food to corals.
- It is made from natural oolites (3-8 μm) sourced from the Bahama Bank.
- It binds dissolved nutrients and feed particles, keeping them suspended for corals to catch.
- It briefly clouds the water, then clears again as corals and the skimmer take up the particles.

Natural Oolite Feed Carrier for Corals and Filter Feeders
Fauna Marin Coral Bloom is an ultra-fine oolite powder, sized 3-8 μm, sourced from the Bahama Bank. It acts as a natural feed carrier: its surface binds dissolved nutrients, particles, and feed components, then keeps them suspended in the water column for several hours instead of settling out immediately or drifting past filter feeders unused.
That extended suspension time gives corals and other filter feeders a longer window to catch and use the bound nutrients, supporting uptake, growth, and skeletal formation. The water will look intentionally cloudy for a few hours after dosing, then clear again as corals feed and the protein skimmer pulls out what's left, which also helps export unwanted dissolved organics from the system. Coral Bloom pairs well with liquid coral food blends like Fauna Marin Coral Smoothie for preparing feed solutions before dosing.
Key Features:
- Ultra-fine natural oolite powder (3-8 μm) sourced from the Bahama Bank
- 100% natural oolites, free from additives
- Binds dissolved nutrients and feed particles, keeping them suspended for several hours
- Supports nutrient uptake, growth, and skeletal formation in corals and filter feeders
- Clouds the water temporarily, then clears as corals feed and the skimmer exports remaining particles
- Pairs with liquid coral food blends, including Fauna Marin Coral Smoothie, for prepared feed solutions
Ideal For:
- Reef tanks with heavy filter-feeder populations (LPS, NPS corals, clams) that benefit from suspended, bindable food particles
- Hobbyists dosing liquid coral foods who want a natural carrier to extend feeding time in the water column
- Tanks running a protein skimmer, since the skimmer helps export what corals don't take up
Pro Tips:
- Dose with moderate flow running, not high flow. Moderate water movement keeps the powder distributed through the tank without blowing it straight past corals or into the overflow before they can feed.
- Mix it into liquid coral food first, don't dose it dry. Combining Coral Bloom with a liquid feed blend before dosing gives more even distribution than adding the dry powder directly to the tank.

While most of our equipment carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty, consumable products like fish and coral foods are not covered under traditional warranty terms due to their perishable nature and varied storage conditions. However, we fully stand behind the quality of every product we sell. If you experience any issues with your food purchase shortly after receiving it, such as concerns about freshness, packaging integrity, or product quality, please contact us at [email protected]. We're committed to making it right and will work with you to resolve any problems quickly and fairly.
Instructions:
- Mix Coral Bloom with a liquid coral food blend, such as Fauna Marin Coral Smoothie, to prepare a feed solution.
- Dose the mixture evenly into the aquarium.
- Run moderate water flow to distribute the powder through the water column without overpowering it.
- Expect the water to cloud temporarily for a few hours; it will clear as corals feed and the skimmer removes remaining particles.
- Leave the protein skimmer running during and after dosing to help export unused nutrients.
Safety:
- For use in marine aquariums only.
- Do not ingest.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- Keep out of reach of children.
