Reef Nutrition - Tigger Pods - 6oz - Live Copepods

Description:

Tigger-Pods (Tigriopus californicus) are live copepods known for their upward, jerky swimming motion that attracts a wide range of marine fish, including Mandarin dragonets, Seahorses, and Pipefish. Cultured at Reef Nutrition using a proprietary bio-secure process, these copepods are fed on Phyto-Feast® microalgae, ensuring high nutritional value. Each bottle contains approximately 3,000 copepods, including juveniles and egg-bearing females, with at least 10% extra to account for any DOA. Tigger-Pods can be used to directly feed fish, corals, and invertebrates, or established in display tanks and refugia for ongoing propagation.
