hello everyone,

does anyone have an existing culture of copepods, or even amphipod grammarus which is the 'in majority' photo posted above?

i would very much like to seed my small refugium with them and would like to buy some or perhaps swop some coral frags even if anyone has them. pls kindly contact me at 9-028-4368.

thanks all,

cheers,

ian
