Larger than copepods but smaller than amphipods, these tiny grazers spend their time feeding on biofilms, detritus, uneaten food, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and other organic waste throughout the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTheir small size makes them an excellent supplemental food source for mandarins, pipefish, anthias, and other zooplankton-feeding fish, while their constant grazing activity helps support a cleaner, healthier reef ecosystem. Once established, Muniid Isopods readily reproduce in most home aquariums, creating a sustainable population that continuously contributes to both nutrient recycling and natural feeding opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e24–30 individuals per culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMaximum size of approximately 1–2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eLarger than copepods, smaller than amphipods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eConsume biofilms, detritus, uneaten food, diatoms, and cyanobacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eExcellent live food source for mandarins, anthias, pipefish, and other micro-predators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eReadily reproduce in established reef aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSupports biodiversity and natural ecosystem function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA great addition for reef keepers looking to increase microfauna diversity while providing a renewable live food source for picky feeders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"2171\" data-start=\"2106\"\u003eMaintain macroalgae to support sustainable populations over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reef Genetics - Live","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691729649962,"sku":"RG-LF467447888","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/0873\/7322\/files\/reef-genetics-live-live-munnid-isopods-reef-genetics-1243993564.webp?v=1781220312","url":"https:\/\/topshelfaquatics.com\/products\/live-muniid-isopods-reef-genetics","provider":"Top Shelf Aquatics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
