DT’s® Live Marine Copepods

Copepods that thrive in reef aquariums!
Subtropical Harpacticoid sp.

These subtropical Harpacticoid copepods are a warm water species that will develop a thriving population in reef aquariums. Copepods are an especially nutritious small prey item for many corals and small fish. This species has an adult size of about 900 microns.

Copepods feed on phytoplankton and are also an excellent scavenger, feeding on detritus of any kind. The best place for these copepods to reproduce and grow is in a refugium or aquarium.

This species is cultured at an average temperature of 82.5°F (28°C), so it is a species that will do very well in a reef tank.
