Spirulina Algae Wafers 100g

Premium 15mm algae wafers enriched with Spirulina platensis, a dense, long-lasting food that isopods, millipedes, and cockroaches love to gather around and graze on over time.

Algae wafers are a brilliant addition to any invert enclosure. Unlike flakes that break down quickly, these solid 15mm discs hold their shape and soften gradually when misted, giving your colony something to congregate around and feed on over a longer period. They're high in fibre for easy digestibility, and the spirulina content provides a natural boost of vitamins and nutrients.

Why Algae Wafers?

• Spirulina platensis (min. 6%): supports immune health and provides natural vitamins and minerals
• 34% crude protein, solid protein content in a plant-heavy formula
• High fibre (5%): promotes healthy digestion
• Rich vitamin profile: vitamins A, D3, E, and C in generous quantities
• 15mm wafer format, holds together well in the enclosure, softens gradually when misted, and gives your inverts something to cluster around
• Great for leaving in as a slow-release food source between regular feedings

How to Use

Place one or two wafers into your enclosure and give them a mist. They'll soften over time and your inverts will graze on them. Replace any uneaten wafers after a couple of days. Works well as part of a varied diet alongside leaf litter, flakes, pond sticks, vegetables, and other protein sources.

Our article on feeding isopods algae pellets covers this kind of spirulina-rich food in detail, from breaking pieces up for small mouths to clearing leftovers before they mould. The oak and algae wafers add oak bark for wood-eating species, and the pleco wafers carry more protein; the three are different answers to the same slow-release feeding.

The slow-release format makes these particularly handy for isopods, millipedes, and cockroaches, leave a wafer in and your colony will graze on it over several days. Browse our full accessories collection for the other components of a varied invert diet.

Size

100g of 15mm wafers. One disc misted and left in will feed a colony over several days, so the pack empties slowly even with several tubs on the go.
