About Professor Polyp

The Science of Reef Care

Professor Polyp was born from one marine biologist’s obsession with doing reef care right.

After 16+ years in the hobby — starting at age 16, working at a local fish store for 5 years, and earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Biology from BYU-Hawaii — Nick Cook saw a gap in the market: no coral dip could handle both plant AND animal pests.

So he made one.

Bubble Bath — The Game Changer

Our flagship product combines hydrogen peroxide with natural limonene to create the first dual-action coral dip. One minute. Zero pests. Safe for every coral type.

What started as a solution for Nick’s own tanks has grown into the go-to dip for hobbyists, coral farms, and fish stores nationwide.

Our Mission

We believe reef keeping should be simpler, safer, and more accessible. Every product we develop is:

  • Science-backed — formulated by a marine biologist, not a marketing team
  • Reef-safe — gentle on corals, lethal on pests
  • Easy to use — no complicated protocols, no guesswork
