Caprellid Amphipods

johnmaloney · 01-12-2009, 03:20 AM

Most of us have the standard copepods, and the Gammarid amphipods, but do you have Caprellid Amphipods?

Here is a good article on them:
Amphipods by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com
Hitch Hiking Copepods, Isopods and Amphipods

Anyway, it is on some brown Gracilaria that is kind of ugly so we will give you enough to seed your refugium with these guys when you the order the one penny algae sample, just leave us a note in the comments field. My seahorse and pipefish love them, as does my fry puffer. Look like little stick figures, very different.

ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Plants and Macroalgae

But during checkout you have to put "Send my caprellid amphipods, or send me the brown grac", so we know to send you that, instead of the regular penny macro.
