So I got my new predator tank set up it’s about 6 weeks old and I have a bit of copapods starting to build up on the wall. I’m looking for something to that will maintain the amount of pods in the tank. I have a black volitan, panther grouper and snowflake eel. 3 in lionfish, 1 1/2 in grouper and 5 in eel. Clearly they’re going to grow tremendously but I’m looking for something to keep these critters under wraps. Gobies likely will be dinner at some point but if I can’t find anything else I might just go for it. Also not really looking to put corals in this tank at any point just an FYI. Would love to hear your 2 cents on this
 
A sand sifting star and others, like a chocolate chip will eat copepods. I don't know any larger fish, all the ones I am familiar with are too small.
 
Anyone think a dragon gobi would help?
