Two Little Fishies Marine Snow
Marine Snow is a unique particulate feed/supplement that disperses slowly and presents fat‑soluble vitamins in a drifting, micro‑particulate form favored by passive feeders and schooling species. Its distinguishing technical advantage is sustained, natural feeding availability—an alternative to single‑dose liquids—so while it can be more costly per unit of vitamin, it excels where continuous, behavior‑driven uptake matters.

Review Summary
"Two Little Fishies Marine Snow is popular for feeding corals and plankton feeders and producing visible particulate 'snow' that many reefkeepers like, but it can cause temporary cloudiness and needs careful dosing to avoid overfeeding."

Continuum Aquatics Coral Exponential
Coral Exponential is a high‑potency reef supplement designed to drive coral growth with a suite of targeted nutrients that include fat‑soluble vitamins; although primarily marketed to corals, its concentrated vitamin mix can indirectly support fish health in reef systems.
