Have not had success with Mandarin Goby in established Reef tank

I do indeed see pods. I can see them in my sump, and whenever I wipe
the inside of my overflow box, there are multiple pods.

seeing "pos" means little

define "pods"

give a good description of all of the different ones you find. or post pics

give general shape, coloring and where you found them in relation to a surface, what
surface and amount of light where you found them.

Tim, I just stumbled on this article that might help you do just what
Richard suggested.

Yes I actually did come across the article by Shimek. What I have
seen in some abundance are amphipods. But then again, that is not to
say that some of the other organisms that are mentioned in his article
are not present, I just have not noticed them in the same abundance.

Does anyone know the "specific" pods that a mandarin preys on?

they are not that specific of a feeder they will eat isopods, copepods,
micro worms, types of rotifers(non plantonic types) and a variety of other
itty bitty critters, amphipods are generally speaking not part of there
diet, though i guess if one jumped up and down and yelled "eat me" the
mandarin probiby would
