Why Pods Matter:
Copepods and amphipods are essential to reef ecosystems. These tiny detritivores consume waste, algae, and uneaten food—sometimes up to 10x their body weight daily. Their rapid 7–10 day reproduction cycle supports biodiversity and provides natural live food year-round.
How They Help Your Reef:
- Improve water quality by lowering organic waste
- Offer a continuous live food source for hard-to-feed species
- Support long-term tank stability and balance
Important Notes:
- This is a mixed culture of amphipods
- Some individuals may be juvenile or microscopic and not visible on arrival.
- To verify density, gently tap the bag and observe movement in the water—visible activity confirms live biomass.
