Brightwell Aquatics KoralColor - Encourages Increased Colora

Overview
• Provides numerous elements important to the
formation of various biochromes (biological
pigments), complex molecules that give coloration
to plant and animal cells through their selective
color-absorption and -reflection characteristics.
• Formulated specifically to provide trace quantities
of elements for gradual incorporation into, and
formation of, biochromes known to occur within
zooxanthellae, such as chlorophylls a and c, beta
carotene, and xanthophylls.
• Does not influence population density of
zooxanthellae, which would put the overall
health and survival of the host organism in a
precarious situation.
• Formulated by a marine scientist.
Technical Background
In many ways, aquarium husbandry may be thought of as an artistic expression of the hobbyist in which living organisms are the figurative colors on a painter's canvas. Images of vividly-colored marine fishes and invertebrates co-existing in reef ecosystems are the inspiration of many marine aquarium hobbyists, and the acquisition (and maintenance) of healthy, colorful corals and clams is a primary aspect of achieving the desired appearance of a captive reef habitat. Much of the observed coloration of corals, clams, and their allies, is attributable to biological pigments created by symbiotic zooxanthellae residing within their tissues. These pigments are termed
