I'm curious because I just found a very healthy, almost 2 year old bottle in the back of my fridge from Jay's Reef Bugs
How long does phytoplankton usually last in the fridge?

Wow.. Lol, I was just commenting to follow, but that is crazy it's 2 years old
I’m thinking that the light switch might be malfunctioning in your fridge :anguished-face:
Mine usually lasts less than a month but I don’t remember to shake it either.
I didn’t want to break it to the op but I think it’s a green bacteria or Cyanobacteria that’s in the fridge!

Could be, but whatever it is looks the same color and had settled on the bottom. Could green bacteria or Cyanobacteria live in there for that long either? The other things around it had frozen, so maybe the extra cold temps had something to do with it.

Lol, you got me to make sure the light wasn't stuck on. All good.
Dead phytoplankton does settle out but you can still shake it up and feed it.
I might check for rotten smells first. The coral will still eat it but it may stink up the fish room if you feed a lot.
If it’s been sitting cold it’s probably still fine, alive I don’t think so?

No bad smell. I am going to leave it in the and see what happens.
