Paracoccus & Spirulina Powder

[Goonter]

I know these can be beneficial when used for gut loading fish food to help enhance fish colors; however, recently I’ve noticed some premixed coral foods that have both these powders in them. Is there any benefit to the reef tank by dosing this powders directly to the tank?

Copepods will eat spirulina but it can add tons of phosphate from my experience

yeah that was the only thing I could think of was for copepods to munch on. Still uncertain about the paracoccus powder though…

Yeah I have no clue about those except that corals might eat them if I ahd to make an educated guess.
