A: no

**Q: Does this have an expiration date?**
A: Just checked the bottle and I didn't see any.

**Q: does this work if i dont have any corraline algae yet?**
A: I did not have any obvious coraline algae and used it once. I had a huge mess as the green algae bloomed everywhere. I changed the water and cleaned the filter adjusted the lighting timing and the next morning the algae bloomed in an overabundance. It took 3 water changes and 4 filter cleanings to get it under control. I threw it away but your experience may be different.

**Q: Will this harm invertebrates?**
A: Nope, not at all. Just check your levels (you should do this anyway). Been using this stuff for years! Good for any hard corals and coco worms too. Makes everything nice n pink n purpley!
