Default Anybody dose Vitamin C

I was reading vitamin c plays a huge part in Coral calcification, I'm curious if anyone doses something specific for vitamin c.

Most animals produce their own.

I think Oysters for example have a decent amount of VC in them.

Ult OP polyps turned green after acquiring the piece last year but the orange came back after dosing vit. C so I'm a believer in dosing it... JL didn't have any when I was over last week... Hmmmm
