I just spot fed my brother's corals with Seachems Phytoplanktin and within minutes the corals I fed started dying the corals I didn't feed are completely fine . Stay away from there phytoplanktin! Theres no doubt in my mind that its the food thats just killed 100s of dollars of coral . I am at a loss o dont even know what to do . I bought this phytoplanktin just last week

You need to get in contact with seachem and tell them your situation. That really stinks though, I'm very sorry to hear this.

Ive had mixed results with the seachem zooplankton and phytoplankton. I stopped using them for the same reason. I could not find an expiration date on the product, but the variation in color, texture and smell lead me to believe there was either spoilage, inconsistent manufacturing, or contamination.

Also, those products are extremely concentrated and should be dosed into the system. Did you spot feed the coral?
