Default PODs?.... Video

I made this little video today.

These are in my refugium that is attached to my 20 gallon Mandarin tank.

Are they PODs or something else?

I know the video is not HQ... it was shot with a PENTAX W90... but you will get the point.

If anyone has ideas, let me know.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Quite looks like it, and a ton of them at that. They look a bit like baby cleaner shrimp when they hatch but sometimes they look like pods. Either way, you've got mandarin food.

Whatever they are.... they have been in there for months. I have just not gotten around to posting anything.

There are no shrimp of any sort in my tank.

They are super tiny... like really tiny. With the naked eye they are just small specks zooming about.

I have never seen living Mysis in my tank... nor have I intruduced any live foods..... hmm... except Reef Bugs.... which they say "hatch".

I have not dosed that in months and months so who knows.

They have not grown and I always have them. I am not sure if this eliminates shrimp or not.

I added "reefbugs" to my system a while back, I have loads of Mysis running around in my sump just as your video shows...I also have amphipods & copods but I never really see them until right after I feed the DT, then they too are all over the place, funny to watch when they grab a larger piece of food and hold on to it with all they have.

amphipods..

amphipods..
Yea I have countless in my 70. If I get up in the middle if the night they are all over.

I'll have to scope the 20 one night and see how many larger pods there are.
