Add a diverse population of live copepods to your marine aquarium with the PodDrop Reef Rain Copepod Blend. This 16-ounce blend combines live Tigriopus californicus and Tisbe biminiensis copepods, providing multiple sizes, life stages, movement patterns, and habitat preferences.
The larger, highly visible Tigriopus copepods provide an enticing live-food option, while the smaller Tisbe copepods naturally move throughout rockwork, substrate, and other protected aquarium surfaces. Together, they provide broad habitat coverage and supplemental live prey for reef aquariums, refugiums, and dedicated culture systems.

For the best chance of establishment, introduce them after the aquarium lights have turned off.
Temporary changes to filtration, pumps, or UV sterilization are optional and depend on the individual aquarium system.
