Copepod infestation

[Butuz]

Guys, new tank here, cycling finished about a month+ ago. Currently have two picasso clownfish and one chromis. I added 10k copepods from AlgeaBarn 3 weeks ago, been dosing 15ml phyto daily. My tank walls are now covered in copepods. Problem is, my clownfish have not eaten anything I thrown in for 5 days now (since i moved them to DT from quarantine). They stay close to the corner with the most copepods and pick them all dang day long. Should I be worried? They have not even explored the tank and not noticed the anemone. They go from one corner to another picking copepods.

Haha, they are in heaven.

Nothing to worry about. I'd personally dial back on your phyto which will lower the copepod population.

As for the anemone, mine have been in the same tank about 12" apart from each other and still haven't "discovered" each other.

clowns are strange with nems sometimes. also keep in mind your particular clowns may not be a natural match for your nem.

No I have a yellow coral gobie that lives in my tank and I do not have to feed it
