Why iodine is important in my reef tank

Image
  Iodine is a trace element naturally present in seawater and plays several important roles in reef aquariums. Even though it’s needed in very small amounts, it can have noticeable effects on coral health and invertebrates.  How Iodine Enters the Reef Tank Iodine usually enters your aquarium through: High-quality  reef salt mixes Water changes Certain  reef supplements Natural biological processes within the tank Helps Corals Stay Healthy Many soft corals, LPS and SPS corals use iodine in their biological processes. Benefits include: Better polyp extension Improved colouration - (the hue of blue and purple) Support for tissue health Helps corals recover from fragging or stress Corals like: Xenia Zoanthids Leather corals Gorgonians Euphyllia etc. often respond well to stable iodine levels. Important for Shrimp and Crabs Iodine is very important for molting in crustaceans. Animals that benefit: Cleaner shrimp Fire shrimp Hermit crabs Emerald crabs Without enough iodine...
