They come in on liverock and in live sand. My 20g reef has been running for three weeks now. Hadn't seen many pods until a few days ago, then BOOM. The glass was covered with literally thousands of them of varying size. I'm curious to how often they reproduce....Bo

In addition to the sites above.
Inlandaquatics.com
Roti-pods.com
I have ordered from all but Reed Mariculture
(called Zooplankton.com above) and was pleased with all, and heard good things about Reed Mariculture (Zooplankton.com) Go to Reed Mariculture same site but this links them both.

is there such thing as a long pod? long as in 11/2 cm? its white and buries itself in substrate? its completely white. and has i think 8 legs, i think i saw a baby mantis but im not sure. I tried to catch the bugger but i ended up messing up the substrate and lost it

I have order from all 4. All top notch. Just learned that Roti-Pods is no longer in business. Dwayne was great to work with and had a great product.
