Copepods

[olsenshouse]

Are the big copepods bad for your tank? I looked in my Chaeto today and saw tons of big sized copepodes. It's in my sump. Is there anything that eats these things when they get huge?

I have a lot of large sized copepods in a fishless tank. Seems the only thing bad I've found is they can steal food from the anemones and corals when it's feeding time. Other than that I have not seen any ill effect.

They and also the small ones CLEAN the sub and rocks. Man you put a Manadrin (Spotted) Goby in there there and it would go crazy.

nothing wrong with big pods. it's a good thing.

Pods means your tank is doing healthy. I have a Mandarin goby and thats what it eats.
