I have the following phyto available:

Rhodomonas: Enhanced coloration: The pigment phycoerythrin helps intensify the reds, oranges, and pinks in corals and fish.
Rich in nutrients: It is loaded with EPA, DHA, golden fats, and vitamins that are essential for marine life, providing a comprehensive nutritional boost.
Highly digestible: Its small cell size and soft cell wall make it easily digestible for a wide range of organisms, including sensitive corals and filter feeders.
Stimulates feeding: The live cells can act as an appetite stimulant, encouraging corals to extend their feeding appendages and improving the effectiveness of other powdered foods.

Isochrysis: I. galbana is a primary food source for many corals, especially filter feeders like clams and some non-photosynthetic corals, which can readily consume its small cell size and rich nutrients.
Enhances live food: It is commonly used to enrich live foods such as copepods, rotifers, and brine shrimp, boosting their nutritional value before being fed to other tank inhabitants.

Tetraselmis chui: A "nutritional powerhouse" rich in protein, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids, it provides essential nutrients for organisms like corals, clams, copepods, and brine shrimp.
Water quality improvement: It acts as a natural filter by consuming nitrates, phosphates, and carbon dioxide, helping to maintain cleaner water.
Stimulates feeding response: Its active, swimming nature triggers a feeding response in many filter feeders and invertebrates.
Disease prevention: It can produce antimicrobial compounds that help suppress pathogenic bacteria in an aquarium environment.

Nannochloropsis: Feeds corals and filter feeders: It is an ideal food for many filter feeders, including corals (SPS/LPS), clams, oysters, and feather dusters.
Boosts zooplankton: It is a primary food source for zooplankton like copepods and rotifers, which are essential for a healthy food web and are often a food source for fish larvae.
Enriches other foods: It can be used to enrich other live foods, such as brine shrimp and rotifers, making them more nutritious.
Provides key nutrients: It is rich in protein, essential fatty acids (like EPA), vitamins (B1, B2, B12, E), and minerals, which support overall health and vitality.
Enhances coloration: The pigments in Nannochloropsis, such as astaxanthin and canthaxanthin, can help improve the coloration of fish and other invertebrates.

I can do mixtures of all 4 or by itself, prices are as follows:

Nannochloropsis and Tetraselmis $20 shipped per 32 oz

Rhodomonas and Isochrysis is $25 shipped per 32ozs.

Most shipments take 1 day to MD, VA,DE, and PA..

Introducing the newest strain of phyto here at Semper Phyto is Rhodomonas salina which is a red phyto plankton. Rhodomonas salina is a red, high-value phytoplankton strain loaded with EPA, DHA, and natural pigments like phycoerythrin. Its small cell size, soft cell wall, and vibrant color make it one of the most digestible and visually stimulating options for corals, filter feeders, and live feed enrichment.

32oz bottles will be avaible starting 20 Sept for $25 picked up or shipped. Shipping to most local areas within 1 day. If you wish to pick up i am located in Abingdon(21009) near Otter Point.
