Apocyclops panamensis "Apo" copepods are an excellent species to seed a refugium or new reef tank. This copepod is a medium-sized copepod that is easier to see than our tisbe pod but not as large as our Tigriopus californicus "Tig" copepods, affording them the opportunity to reproduce faster than they could fall to predation.
Tisbe Biminiensis Copepods: This species of copepods has several life stages, including the egg, nauplius, copepodid, and adult stages. They are small in size, ranging from 0.2 to 0.8mm at each stage, and they feed primarily on algae and other small organic particles in the water column.
Tigriopus Californicus Copepods: These copepods are also characterized by their multiple life stages and small size, ranging from 0.2 to 0.8mm at each stage. They are known for their omnivorous dietary profile, feeding on a variety of phytoplankton, microalgae, and small zooplankton.
Rotifers: These tiny creatures have a well-defined life cycle, including the egg, trochophore, and adult stages. They are microscopic in size, ranging from 20 to 500 micrometers, and they feed primarily on microalgae and other small organic particles.
Feeding & Diet
Feeding & Diet
An opportunistic omnivore, the Seahorse will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.
Care & Water Parameters
Care & Water Parameters
The Seahorse thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Generally considered reef-safe. The Seahorse coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.
Size & Growth
Size & Growth
Seahorses are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
