    If you want to check the pods out when you get them place the algae in a bag with water and shake violently. remove the algae and add it to the tank, let the water in the bag sit for a minute then check out the moving specs on the bottom with 10x magnification. Copepods shake out that way. There will be caprellid amphipods on the gracilaria, they wont fall off. Would need a paint mixer to shake those guys, we find them only in the most treacherous inlets and turbulent areas. Makes sense since they are so slow. Their only defense is really to be able to holdfast against the current.
