Finally....PODS!

[Bumgrundle]

Just wanted to update, after 1 week+, after refugium setup, my tank has been molested by millions of the smaller "pods" (Look like crawling micro bubbles) My clown crew are loving it. How big do they get? I'm not sure what type of "pods" they are....new to all this. Also, I have a Green Flower basket frag, it's always extended, and after noticing the pods, I saw the Flower pot close up flat, then extend again probably 3 or more times, feeding?
I'd post a pic but it's not gonna be any help.

Different 'pods grow to different sizes. Most copepods won't get much bigger than a darting microbubble. Some of the isopods will grow a bit bigger than a fruit-fly - or a long pinhead. Some of the amphipods can get almost as big as the metal bit at the phone end of your 'phone charger. (Some of the deep-sea isopods can grow to the size of footballs, but that's a tangent . . . ) Most of 'em are good to have!
