    Does anyone use marine snow and if so what does yours look like? I bought a bottle a few months ago and its was liquidity. This time I bought some like a month ago from a different store and its very chunky and I feel as if it is not dissolving well in my water. Im asking this because it seems as if my torch coral has its mouth out a lot recently. And yes its refridgerated and I also shake it before each use. Thanks

    It should be liquid, not chunky.
    FWIW your torch coral will not eat it anyways. They need pieces of meaty items, like cut up shrimp. Very few corals will eat phyto supplements.

    If you have some frozen brine or mysis shrimp, you can GENTLY squirt some on your coral if you don't think it's getting enough food.

    it is supposed to clump into small balls that look like snowflakes while in the water and then slowly as it swirls around your tank it will dissipate.
