Pods can help complete the reefs nitrogen cycle in sufficient numbers without feeding any fish. If you have certain types of fish they will eat every humanly visible pod in your tank. When I first introduced a 6 line wrasse to my tank I watched him for the first few days pick every pod off the front glass. They may not be listed like a mandarin because they will eat almost anything, but that will not stop them from having pod snacks. If you have bought coral from someone or LR from an established tank you have pods. They normally can be found in the corners near or on the silicone.
