It is a good sign to see pods and other critters! You may have some die off but I don't think anything drastic. They are very hardy and should survive and multiply!!!
How awesome to have a tank with a wobbegong shark!!!! That would be awesome to have, however, we can't get them in the States. I'd like to get a stingray or skate for one of my tanks if they stay small!

I had to hand feed my wobbegong...cos it was a slow mover... it just kinda sat there.until it smelt the food...and it would snap ... never got used to it..scared the crap outta me everytime... it was like the time i had pirahnas... and when i put a feeder fish into the tank...the whole tank would just literally shudder with activity... maybe im sick... lol
