So I recently came across the concept of dosing zooxanthellae to help revive bleaching corals and also aid in growth in other corals. I have a bleached chalice coral and I was wondering if anyone has had any good results dosing something like PhycoPure or any other zooxanthellae products

Expelling zoxanthelle is a stress sign, better to deal with the underlying issue than to put a band-aid over the top.

I have. It was dinos. Dinos are gone and addressed. Have been feeding for the past few weeks but slow progress has happened. Only a patch or two of color has come back to normal and I’m looking for something to aid in restoration
 
I did with phycopure + reef energy and a coral came back from being fully bleached
Ok good to know. Do you think just target feeding every other day, feeding reef roids weekly, and dosing this will help or do you believe reef energy had a significant impact on the tank

Have kinda considered getting reef energy because of the hype behind it recently

The reason I used reef energy is because, since its basically pre-dissolved food, the corals have to use less work to use it it plus they don't need to "capture it" like they do with other foods. However, I don't think the product is unique. It is the pretty much the same thing as aquavitro fuel but without the chlorella (the chlorella adds some trace elements in some unknown amount). There are other companies that make similar products too.

I target fed it daily.
