Brightwell Aquatics CoralAmino Reef Aquarium Amino Acid Supplement, 60 mL for Coral Growth

Brightwell Aquatics CoralAmino is a 60 mL reef aquarium amino acid supplement designed to support coral tissue growth, recovery, and coloration with a free-form amino acid complex.

• Free-form amino acids in ratios that mirror stony coral tissues — provides building blocks for coral tissue.
• Supports new tissue formation and repair — useful for corals recovering from fragmentation or damage.
• Designed to support coloration, budding, and fission — helps meet coral nutrition needs in a reef aquarium.
• For stony and soft corals, solitary and colonial polyps, and other invertebrates — suits a range of marine aquarium life.
• Target-feed or broadcast-feed — two methods let you add the supplement near corals or into moving aquarium water.
• Made in the USA; store in a cool place and do not freeze — clear origin and storage guidance.

Corals in marine aquariums need nutrients that support tissue formation and upkeep. CoralAmino is made for reef keepers who want to add free-form amino acids to coral care, including when supporting tissue recovery after propagation or damage. Its formulation is based on oceanographers’ research into tropical coral tissue profiles, and it is also used by professional coral farmers.

What is CoralAmino designed to support?

CoralAmino supplies free-form amino acids that corals can assimilate as building blocks for proteins and tissue. The formula is designed to support new tissue growth, repair after fragmentation or damage, and growth through budding and fission. It is also intended to support vibrant coral coloration; results can vary with aquarium conditions and coral needs.

• Formulated to reflect the amino acid ratios found in stony coral tissues.
• Developed using applied research on coral tissue profiles from tropical reefs.

How do you dose CoralAmino in a reef aquarium?

For target feeding, use 1 mL (about 20 drops) and gently release it 2–4 inches (5.1–10.2 cm) upstream from the corals. For broadcast feeding, add 1 mL (about 20 drops) per 50 gallons (189 L) in an area with swift water flow. The directions allow a larger amount when needed for many corals.

• Target feeding directs the supplement near the coral.
• Broadcast feeding disperses it through moving aquarium water.

Which aquarium animals is CoralAmino for?

CoralAmino is made for marine reef aquariums containing stony or soft corals, solitary or colonial polyps, and other invertebrates. Its amino acid complex is not limited to stony coral species, although its amino acid ratios are modeled on stony coral tissues.

• Suitable for a variety of coral types and other invertebrates.
• Use the stated dose as a starting point, with the option to use more for many corals.

CoralAmino is a fit for reef aquarists looking to add an amino acid supplement to care for corals and other invertebrates, especially when supporting tissue growth or recovery. Keep the bottle in a cool place and do not freeze it. Its coral-focused amino acid formula and two feeding methods make it suitable for targeted or aquarium-wide use.
