Will Clown gobies eat copepods?

[OgreMkV]

I recently got a pair of yellow clown gobies (Gobiodon okinawae) and they are very cool little fish.

The question is do they eat copepods in the tank? I've got tons of pods, these are the first fish I've ever had in the tank and it's been a reef for almost 10 months. The little fish will eat flake and they have no problem coming to get it, but they don't eat much. Then again, they do much either except sit on my acan and look cute.

Mine never ate much either. They're so small, and they swim so little I doubt they need to eat a bunch. Hold a piece of food between your fingers and waive it in his face... mine would eat right out of my hand... and sometimes sit in my palm and munch on a snack.

I've seen my green clown gobies go after pods on my LR, but only when they are right in front of them. They don't hunt like my female tiger goby, who scoots all over the tank looking for pods. Her mate pretty much hangs out in his territory and waits for food to come by, when he's not busy chasing other critters away from his den.
