Product Overview
PodDrop ZooX™ is a live culture of symbiotic zooxanthellae designed to support coral coloration, recovery, and metabolic energy production. These photosynthetic dinoflagellates form the foundation of coral health, supplying essential compounds that fuel growth, tissue repair, and fluorescence. Delivered as a living, actively dividing culture, ZooX™ provides a direct source of fresh symbionts that can assist stressed, newly fragged, or recently shipped corals in re‑establishing a strong symbiotic balance.
ZooX™ disperses easily into the water column, where corals naturally uptake the cells through feeding and absorption pathways. This makes it a powerful tool for reef keepers seeking to enhance coral vitality, stabilize coloration, and maintain a resilient, energy‑rich reef ecosystem.

Add ZooX™ directly to the display tank or coral holding system with pumps running to ensure even distribution. Corals naturally uptake the cells through feeding and absorption pathways, allowing the culture to integrate into their tissues over time.
Regular additions help maintain strong symbiont populations, support recovery after stress events, and enhance overall coloration and vitality.

PodDrop ZooX™ is a living culture and should be handled with the same care you give to other live microalgae and symbiont products. Store refrigerated at 34–40°F (1–4°C) and keep the bottle sealed when not in use. Avoid freezing, excessive heat, or direct sunlight, as these conditions can damage cell integrity and reduce viability.
Gently invert the bottle before each use to resuspend the culture. For best results, use the product within its recommended freshness window and avoid introducing contaminants into the bottle. Always pour—never dip—when dosing to maintain purity and longevity.
Proper storage ensures maximum cell vitality, uptake efficiency, and overall effectiveness when added to your reef system.
