That is in direct contrast of the supplier Reef Nutrition Also a quote for OA web site
"Tigriopus californicus is a very large (250-2500 micron) harpacticoid copepod that ranges from Alaska to Baja California. T. californicus is a very hearty copepod that can tolerate wide ranges in temperature (10-35°C) and salinity (10-100 ppt). T. californicus eats microscopic algae, protists, bacteria, diatoms, algae and microbes (McGroarty 1958). The T. Californium’ life cycle has 14 stages, and can live from 50-100 days.

How to care for your Tigriopus:

Grows best in conditions where temperatures are between 25-30 °C, and salinity is 32-38 ppt.
Do not overfeed! Maintain Tigriopus in light/cloudy phytoplankton conditions using Phyto-feast *LIVE*.
Needs little to no aeration. If using air, bubbles should be 1-3 mm at 1-2 per second."


I do know that stock turn over is a big problem as demand is low. You need to get them as soon as they come in or at least know when they came in
