attack of the pods

[pastina]

a few pods i thought were cute but yesterday there must have been 100 amphipods running all over the live rock. it was pretty creepy lol
are there any corals that will eat amphipods? the biggest one was about 1/4", i guess he was the jumbo shrimp of the batch
do sun corals eat pods? ive seen pictures of the polyps chowing down on myis shrimp do you think they will eat some pods?

My zoos will eat myiss shrimp and I think a sun coral will eat pods. Do you have any fish in the tank?

[pastina]

no fish, just 2 scarlet hermit crabs
oh i forgot the say the tank specs sry
10g
15lbs live rock
2x40w satellite pc lighting
20lbs arag alive sand
2 scarlet hermits

i want to add corals before fish because im still not sure if i want fish, i may end up doing an invert coral tank only
sun corals i think are soooo cute and i would really like that to be my first coral this way i can baby it

You do have the lights for coral. Sun corals are very cool. You need to spot feed them they do not get a lot of the food they need form light. How long has your tank been up?

[pastina]

only a week. ive been gathering up info so that when i do add corals i know what to expect and how to care for them.
i prob will add my first coral in another month
i was thinking about purchasing some products, not really for the sun coral but for other corals, i have in mind marine snow and coral life invert target food, should i get these products or are they a waste of money?
the sun coral i plan on feeding mysis shrimp

I would not put any thing in my water. I did put stuff in for over a year and then I stop one day and the corals look just as good. So I would pass. Just keep up on water changes and feed the sun coral shrimp.
