Biolluminescent Dinos

So I recently saw this, and this might be a stupid question, but can you add it to a reef tank?

PyroDinos -3 pack- (600ml) Bioluminescent Dinoflagellates (microalgae)

PyroDinos are bioluminescent marine plankton classified as Pyrocystis fusiformis (aka Dinoflagellates). PyroDinos use light to grow (like a plant) and glow blue at night when disturbed.

You can, but it typically dies out after a while:

Yeah - these dinos (Pyrocystis fusiformis) are coldwater and non-toxic (people have legitimately drunk the stuff before, though it’s not recommended). People add these to their tanks on occasion, but they typically only last a couple of weeks (slowed growth at the higher temp, and removal via filtration, skimmers, etc.).

They’re pretty neat, and kids will definitely love them.

No idea. Seems cool. Their website says its Pyrocystis fusiformis. I bet culturing it would be like phyto.

Oh, it is a phyto. Didnt realize that. And it is tropical.
