The live copepods included in each Reef Snacklebox - Tisbe, Apocyclops, and Tigriopus - eat nuisance algae and detritus. In certain cases, they are even known to consume other harmful microfauna (Tisbe copepods can eat certain strains of harmful dinoflagellates).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLive copepods are incredibly small but pack a significant punch.

Their small size enables them to reach the tiny crevices in your rock that snails and urchins can't get to. They eat leftover fish food, detritus, and algae that settle in those spaces, which in turn contributes to lower nutrients in your reef tank.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLive copepods such as the ones found in our Reef Snacklebox are also necessary to keep certain types of fish such as mandarin gobies, dragonettes, and pipefish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy With Confidence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003eShopping for live goods online can be stressful, but we use best-in-industry \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dinkinsaquaticgardens.com\/pages\/shipping-for-survival\"\u003eshipping practices\u003c\/a\u003e such as biodegradable styrofoam boxes, checking your weather and including heat\/ice packs as needed, and sending all orders with UPS two day shipping.
