IceCap Coral Feeder, 50cm/19in

IceCap Standard Acrylic Coral Target Feeder — 50cm / 19in (IC-CF-19)

The IceCap 19-Inch Standard Coral Feeder (SKU: IC-CF-19) is an authentic, ergonomically optimized husbandry tool distributed by CoralVue to simplify spot-feeding across standard marine reef aquariums, community tanks, and mixed-reef setups. In closed reef systems, broadcasting liquid coral foods or pulverized particulate diets straight into the open water column is incredibly inefficient. Strong powerheads sweep the nutrients into filter socks, protein skimmer gates, or mechanical roller mats before corals can capture them, leading to wasted food and localized nitrate or phosphate spikes. The IC-CF-19 bypasses this filtration loss completely by giving you a direct, mid-reach tool to deposit food directly onto individual coral mouths and polyps.

What sets this 50cm model apart is its exceptional balance and maneuverability. It serves as the true "workhorse" length of the IceCap feeder line, perfectly sized to reach bottom-dwelling LPS corals, rock-dwelling zoanthids, or mid-water anemones in common standard tank heights. The clear, heavy-wall acrylic barrel ensures maximum precision, offering a rigid structure that won't warp or wiggle under pressure. At the business end, a specialized non-abrasive soft rubber tip cushions accidental impacts against expanded tissue membranes. Whether you are feeding chunky mysis shrimp to a hungry Acanthophyllia or gently misting fine plankton over a colony of Zoanthids, this tool ensures absolute precision without getting your hands wet.

Key Features

• Prevents Aggressive Food Stealing: Precision placement lets you deposit food right down into defensive tentacles, ensuring target corals feed successfully before fast-swimming fish or clean-up crews can steal it.

• High Suction Volumetric Capacity: The oversized squeeze bulb generates strong negative pressure, effortlessly pulling up dense particulate slurries, live copepods, or custom blended seafood mashes without stalling.

• Perfect Mid-Tank Scaling: Tailored directly for the most common 20-gallon to 75-gallon displays, providing professional-grade reef husbandry control.

Note: This target-feeding accessory includes one fixed-length acrylic feeder barrel, one silicone bulb, and one soft rubber tip. Premium coral foods and holding clips are sold under separate product categories.
