Kolar Labs Bio Pellets 300g
Kolar Labs Bio Pellets 300g
Made without fillers or harmful chemicals, Metabolix Bio Pellets contain 100% PHA resin made from corn. Bio-pellets are a pure and natural carbon dosing approach to reduce nitrates and phosphates to help control algae in fresh and saltwater aquariums. Left unchecked, elevated levels of nitrates, phosphates, and algae can cause extensive harm to fish, coral and other aquarium life.
As the bacteria in your aquarium consume the PHA pearls, they eliminate algae-promoting nitrates and phosphates. The result? Clearer water, a healthier tank environment and less time spent cleaning your aquarium.

Feeding & Diet
Feeding & Diet
An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.
Care & Water Parameters
Care & Water Parameters
The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.
Size & Growth
Size & Growth
Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
