Question Will pods hurt linkia?

I know this may be a strange question, but I just got a blue linkia two days ago and it's doing pretty good moving around the tank but I noticed last night when the lights go off that there are a huge amounts of pods crawling all over it. Is that something to worry about? Should I get something to control my pod populations?

Thanks,

I don't think the pods will hurt anything, they usually come out at night. If your pod population is good you could probably get a Manderin and keep it nice and fat.

Pods will not hurt anything. They are great. They themselves are food for other livestock in your tank. Copepods eat phytoplankton, detritus and bacteria and amphipods eat phyto, detritus, bacteria and microscopic zooplankton.

The more the merrier!
