anybody have a problem with pods irritating zoas

[tommy6905]

Tank has a ton of pods, these little guys are clearish white with antennas, tiny but easy to see. Seems like there mostly on the zoas causing them to close up. There definitelyh pods, and prob shouldn't be worried but figured I ask. There easy to view in person but would be impossible to capture with a camera

I had a similar problem for a while, but the zoas are doing fine.

Ya I'm not worried about it, just seeing if it was normal behavior I guess. On the other hand, could be worse, could be no pods

You could get a mandarin or a small wrasse. That might help.

That's honestly what I've been thinking, I love mandarins. My last tank I hd was my first so it was llike my learning project, and pods were limited. If I got a mandarin id probably replenish the pods once a month to though to be on the safe side

I have more pods than u can imagine, beleive it or not, in my tile/column setup... they really dont pose any issie... u should be jus fine...

Ya I wasn't to worried, ya my tank is filled beyond belief, there's so many I can see them cruisin.g around during the day

The mandarins love them. The eat the nopillii that are the early stage of the copapods. As he said wrasses also like them. They will continually reproduce if you have that many.

Ya things are looking good, I think I'm going to go with a mandarin when skiptons gets one in. if I d get one though my plan is to replenish pods once a month to be on the safe side.

 

[pallobi]

if your population is what it seems to be, I agree, time for a gorgeous mandarin

 

[tommy6905]

Oh it is, ill post some pics when I get him. Anybody see any around and lfs? I'm in no rush but if the price is right and they look good id jump on it
