Reefphyto Copepod & PodHide Combo – Build a Thriving, Self-Sustaining Pod Population (Save 15%)

Supercharge your reef tank’s biodiversity and keep your copepod population thriving with the Reefphyto Copepod & PodHide Combo.
This bundle pairs our premium Live Copepods (Tigriopus californicus) with the Reefphyto PodHide, a purpose-built breeding shelter that protects pods from predators and encourages long-term colonisation.

Buying both together not only gives your tank a stronger, more stable pod population—it also saves you 15% compared to purchasing individually.

Why This Combo Works

Most reef tanks lose copepods quickly due to hungry wrasses, mandarins, anthias, and other active feeders. By adding live copepods and giving them a dedicated safe haven to hide, breed, and multiply, you create a self-sustaining microfauna base that benefits your entire system.

The PodHide keeps pods safe.
The copepods seed and feed your tank.
Together, they create long-lasting biodiversity and natural nutrition.
