Not sure how/if there's an 'accurate' way to count pods. Most live in nooks & crannies of the rock or in your ball of chaeto etc. Probably one of the more reliable ways is if you have a Mandarin or Spotted Dragonet. If they're fat & happy without supplemental feeding, you've likely got a good pod pop. You can often get a good idea of population density after lights out. If you can see a good number of them crawling about, you've got a healthy population, good luck trying to put an accurate number to the count though.
