Just wondering if I had amphipods from a beach in CA where the water is 56 degrees, would they survive in our home aquariums?

I don't have an answer, but two thoughts. 1) why when there is an abundance of life you'll get already. 2). Do you want small critters that don't have corals as a natural habitat to crawl around your corals and possibly eat/pester them?Just wondering if I had amphipods from a beach in CA where the water is 56 degrees, would they survive in our home aquariums?
Well I love wrasses and wrasses love amphipods.I don't have an answer, but two thoughts. 1) why when there is an abundance of life you'll get already. 2). Do you want small critters that don't have corals as a natural habitat to crawl around your corals and possibly eat/pester them?
I assume they have different species of them so I am unsure how the temperature affects them. I think temp is the biggest issue when it comes to creatures on this coastPods are rather resilient. The guy I got my latest batch from said that he cultures in 1.015 salinity and they are doing great in 1.027. It won't hurt to try. I had dinos wipe everything out in my tank but amphipods, bristle worms and my fish. It's not going to hurt to try. I never dosed phyto in my tank so they must be scavengers. You will see them in a couple of months at night if they made it. Shine a flashlight on the rock.
