Snacklebox Copepods

Reef Snacklebox - Three Species Copepod Blend

Live copepods are a valuable addition to any saltwater aquarium. They eat detritus and waste, getting into tiny nooks where your larger crabs and snails can't go.

Copepods are also extremely nutritious, feeding your fish and coral. In fact, some finicky fish (such as wild mandarin gobies or pipefish) will ONLY eat copepods.

Amphipods

Amphipods


Amphipods are voracious detritovores, doing many of the same jobs as copepods, but consuming even more detritus and nuisance algae. They are also great to feed finicky fish and seahorses.
