Just out of curosity can someone tell me if these would destroy a pod popluation? I have a seperate refugium and it's starting to finally get some decent pods and now I'm worried the shrimps might eliminate them. Any ideas?? Shrimp were mainly their to help keep the refugium clean.
 
I wouldn't put them into a fuge. Peps are hungry and predatory. They may not eat faster species, like amphipods, and copepods will probably be too small for them to bother with. The shrimp will, however, devastate the population of worms that also produce planktonic food for the tank. I'd suggest using snails to keep the fuge clean.
