IceCap XL Deep Acrylic Coral Target Feeder — 70cm / 27in (IC-CF-27)
The IceCap 27-Inch XL Deep Coral Feeder (SKU: IC-CF-27) is an authentic, ergonomically
optimized husbandry tool distributed by CoralVue to simplify spot-feeding across large, deep,
and heavily stocked marine reef aquariums. 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-27 bypasses this filtration loss completely by giving
you an extended, long-reach tool to deposit food directly onto individual coral mouths and
polyps.
What sets this 70cm model apart is its rigid one-piece architecture designed specifically for
deep water columns. Standard short pipettes force you to submerge your arm past the elbow,
risking the transfer of skin oils, perfumes, or residual hand soaps directly into your fragile
aquatic ecosystem. The 27-inch clear, heavy-wall acrylic barrel ensures maximum precision,
offering a rigid structure that won't warp or wiggle under pressure even when working around
deep hardscape shelves. 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 Deep Tank Scaling: Tailored directly for common deep displays (such as
90-gallon to 180-gallon setups), 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.
