So I ordered some tigger pods to culture in my refugium but I checked it last night and apparently I already have a culture developing in it lol. Which is cool but I was wondering if anyone knows if they will coexist or not. I could culture them in a small separate tank but I honestly am not set up for it right now

They should be fine. Many types can live in a fuge as long as they have food.
I find the easiest way to check on my population in my fuge is at night I take a flashlight and place it on a piece of glass over the fuge tank. After about 5 min I can see free swimming ones.

You know I was curiouse about hybrids lol and it turns out there has been studies with tigger cross species. So it is possible and they main thing they gathered was reproduction and development speed is impacted. Mostly random but some were increased significantly and others decreased. Not that I'm worried really but thought that was cool. I'll roll the dice lol
