COPEPODS

PRIMAL SEAS CopepodsThese are found naturally in your aquarium which arrive on live rock, they are a similar size to brine shrimp and are a excellent food source for pipefish, seahorses, mandarin fish, dragonets etc, all of which eat these at a steady rate. If you replenish your system regularly you will give these a good chance of survival. They will feed on phytoplankton, detritus, and waste food so they are of great benefit to your reef system. Acclimatise Copepods as you would fish or corals Copepods info... Copepods are free living planktonic organisms (resembling a small woodlouse) and range between 1 and 10 millimetres in length. They are capable of limited free movement by flicking their jointed limbs and antennae. This is thought to be a predatory avoidance mechanism. Their antennae also help to prevent them sinking in the water coloum
