Red Sea research has identified 31 minor and trace elements, which in addition to the main, present in the skeleton and tissue of all corals.

Red Sea's coral coloring program - Trace Colors - separates these elements into 4 groups: trace – colors A, AT, C and D, which are related through their biological functions, which perform. They, are also associated with the production of a specific color pigment in the tissue of SPS corals.

Pigmentation can only be achieved, if the specific elements , necessary for the biochemical process, are available in the correct concentration. All 31 the elements are required for all SPS corals, regardless of the actual color, which they show.

Dosed based on calcium, supplements are formulated like this, that the ratio of the elements in each of them is the same as this, which is found in the skeleton and skin of corals.

Red Sea research has established a consistent relationship between each of the elements in Trace Colors supplements and total calcium consumption, which is proportional to coral growth and metabolic activity. This provides an easy and safe method of dosing all supplements based on measured calcium absorption.

Trace Colors A– Iodine

Iodine/Bromine and Chlorine- Halogen complex,which assists the pink one coral coloration.

Halogens also act as antioxidants, and as oxidizing agents in coral tissue, reducing the possibility of coral bleaching.

In closed reef systems, these elements are rapidly depleted due to their high oxidizing capacities and reactivity with organic materials.

Iodine and bromine are associated with pink chromo- protein- Pocilloporin

Trace Colors В– Potassium +

Complex of potassium and boron, which contributes to the red coloration of corals.

Potassium plays an essential role in the transport of nutrients in coral tissue, including such, provided by the zooxanthellae. It is associated with red chromo-proteins.

Potassium and boron significantly affect the alkalinity of coral tissue and the formation of aragonite in its skeleton.

Trace Colors C- Iron +

A complex of iron and trace elements, which contributes to the green coloration of corals.

A complex of eight "light" metals: iron, manganese, cobalt, honey, aluminum, zinc, chrome and nickel.

These trace elements are essential for many biochemical metabolic processes, including breathing, energy production, chlorophyll and photosynthetic catalysts.

They are associated with the green/yellow chromo-proteins

Coral colors D– Bioactive elements

Complex,which supports the purple/blue colors of corals.

A combination of 18 essential trace elements, which are actively involved in metabolic processes in the skeleton and tissue of corals.
