So, to me the Holy Grail of copepods are shown in the video below. I had mysis like this in my reef until I treated with Interceptor, and have been on a search to replace them ever since. My tank does have a healthy population of the pods sold commercially by AlgaeBarn and others, but no one sells (at least no one I have found) a tiny variety like that seen in the video. Several aquariums around the world have identified such mysis in their systems and declared them to be a new species including the recently named heteromysis hornimani from London and heteromysis domusmaris from Vienna. They describe the domusmaris species as 3-4 mm max and always swimming in a figure 8 pattern. That was exactly what I had in my aquarium for years. Now I see a few folks posting online that they have something similar in their refugiums.
Anyone got these or something similar in their reef?
Just curious
