With this trace element solution it is possible to influence the amount of zooxanthellae in the coral tissue.

• The coral itself has more energy for growth because the reduced zooxanthellae density requires less energy
• Controlled reduction of zooxanthellae density for Acropora, Anacropora or Montipora
• The reduction of zooxanthellae in the outer layers brings out the colors from deeper layers
• To maintain color of highly colored corals
• The result can be seen 24 h after dosing, and reaches the highest level after 48 h
• Recommended in any tank system

It is possible with this product to influence the amount of zooxanthellae in the coral tissue. The coral itself has more energy for growth because the zooxanthellae density requires less energy. This is possible for acropora, anacropora and montipora. The reduction of zooxanthellae in the outer layers brings out the colors of the coral from deeper layers. ZEOspur2 is also able to influence colors. However, the primary color shown will be the color right below the layer with the zooxanthellae. It is possible to reduce the amount of zooxanthellae so much that the coral will not get enough energy via photosynthesis. This condition can be maintained for a long period of time without damage to the coral. However, our experiments have shown that continued overdosing, and only under this condition, coral tissue will become thinner and thinner and ultimately completely dissolve. We recommend dosing every 14 – 21 days. It is important to apply the full dose all at once or there will no be any changes. The reduction of zooxanthellae occurs within 48 hours and also reaches its highest point at that time. The reaction and, therefore, the dosing amount are different from tank to tank. We recommend starting at 50 % of the recommended amount to get a feel for the product. Subsequently, you can increase the dosing amount, not the interval, by 10%
