每年，众多公司都会引入其“新”礁石和珊瑚食品，通常只不过是各种各样的地面食材。但是水族馆鱼类食品老兵的新生命谱最近发布了一系列新的小粒子珊瑚食品，比简单的食物灰尘要复杂得多。
新的生命谱系以制作一些最好，最值得信赖的鱼类食品颗粒而闻名，他们应用了专有技术来创建公司所谓的“微胶囊”。礁池有两个粒子尺寸，一个大小的小型胶囊版本，微米大小为400至600微米（约一半毫米），珊瑚的较小版本，大约是十分之一，约为30至80微米，但大多数颗粒小于50微米。
在近两研究onspection大小’s clear that these little food particles看与我们尝试过的其他食物不同。但是他们的表现也不同。珊瑚礁细胞微胶囊的略带浮力性质实际上使它们悬挂在水柱中荒谬的时间很长。
After soaking the Reef Cell Microcapsules in tank water for just a couple minutes, the mixture was added to the tank with the return pump turned off, but all of the circulation pumps still on. Since the food was added while the lights were off, there were no fish awake to gobble up the microcapsules – this is when I realized that even after 15 minutes there was still plenty of food particles suspended in the water column.
很小，恰到好处的浮力，大小的礁石细胞微胶囊制造了用于即兴的水流指示器，尤其是大型微型胶囊，易于看见。保持悬浮液的小食物颗粒是喂养过滤礁寿命的理想方法，尤其是柔软和石质的珊瑚，但它可能不是目标进食大型LPS珊瑚的最佳方法。
Also, the encapsulated nature of these micro-pellets will prevent them from leaching too much nutrients into the water column before they are consumed, and retain as much nutrition until they are caught by a hungry coral tentacle. The combination of small particle size, excellent buoyancy and encapsulation makes Reef Cell quite a unique kind of food for reef fish and corals, and it makes a very worthy addition to the reef aquarium feeding routine.
