Amphipods and copepods but mostly amphipods. I mostly sit and watch them
in my 2nd tank which currently only houses a couple of crabs and about
20kg of live rock but on occasion I watch them fight over what I drop in
the sump of my 700 litre tank. They can be quite vicious toward each
other you know - I want it, no I want it, NO, it's mine! And strong like
an ant when it comes to carting the food off against the water flow.

Pods seem to like anything. I feed mine turtle pellets, algae wafers,
carnivore pellets (all meant for my freshwater fish) and of course
they get leftovers such as brine and mysis shrimp, prawn, whiting,
nori, marine green and a variety of flake and pellet foods. I'm sure I
read somewhere they prefer vegetable matter though.


What "pods" are we talking about here ?
Are these amphipods, copepods or some other kind ?
Are they walking on the substrate or swimming like plankton ?
