Pod eating shrimp?

[2farNorth]

Ok, just a quick question, does anyone know of any type of shrimp or other invert. that eats pods? That and is also safe with Zoa's, shrooms, and polyps.....

The reason I ask, is I have a 38g. polyp tank that is loaded with copepods... and the only fish thats in the tank is a Blue Damsel.... and to date,, I am unsuccessful in keeping any other fish with him..... I transfer what I can to my fuge on my reef tank.. but there isn't a predator of them in the 38, so it's loaded!!.. I thought it would be neat to keep some type of 'pod' eating shrimp.....

hmm.. are they normally ok with Zoa's, shrooms, Xenia. etc.? I know the've been known to go after featherdusters.. but.... just curious

Yep peppermint shrimp. He shouldn't bother any of your corals. (people had some experience that they do) but I haven't. I feed mine though, and make sure you feed yours too when there aren't that many pods left!
