My 20g is crawling with pods. I consider this to be a really good thing but can you have too much of a good thing?

I don't have anything in the tank to feed on the pods. Should I add something or just not worry about it?

I agree with Josh. The population will only thrive as long as its food supply level maintains. If you think you have too many, you can always give some away! :-)

you could get a goby or a wrasse to control the population. i have a swarm of pods living in my refugium, my 6line wrasse and green mandarin and very happy.

I have never seen any complaints about people having 'too many'. That is why I am asking. I love the creepy crawlies and these are definitly in that catagory. I figure they will be fine and if/when they die my hermits will be happy and my skimmer can work overtime.

If I ever move the purple lobster out of that tank I will probably add some sort of goby or wrasse.
