Clown Eating Pods

[shoreliner11]

One of my clowns is a voracious pod eater. I see him scowering the lr all day looking for the little guys. He does eat prepared food but I was wondering if he is a big pod eater...is that a sign of being caught from the wild? I thought he was aquacultured but he is also more dark than most clowns. He is still a juvenile though.

Not so strange to me. I have two tank-raised clowns and they hunt pods also.

Doesn't sound to odd to me either, your fish is no dummy, just like many of us would prefer a fresh juicy steak as opposed to some stew opened from a can.

actually the item on top of the menu in the wild is copeopods.....many of the fish, corals, anemones, etc are voracious pod eaters....i mean think about it...how ofeten on a reef loaded with millions of fish...does a dead shrimp simply float down and land into an anemone with out beign consumesd as soon as it dies? problably one in eleventeen kabimillion!
good luck
