Red Scooter Blenny/Dragonet - frozen enough?

Thanks for the advice. If I am going to try to re-establish my pod-pop, then is having chaeto the way to go? I could try to keep it in a mesh breeding net in the tank or a HOB filter. Then, is the idea that I would harvest pods from there to reinject into the tank? Is this a better idea than to just keep a clump of the algae wedged in behind live rock without barrier in the tank so the pods could swim freely? I do have some red macro algae already in there.

I did have tons of pods before the orchid dottyback. Perhaps having the two fish are not compatable

Thanks Albert. Will give you a shout later...

Actually, after watching the little guy today, it amazes me that they could ever catch and eat pods. He seems so slow moving by nature. When I had a variety of pods, they seemed to swim around in and out and underneath the live rocks quite quickly. This guy just seems to hop about, back and forth, picking at the sand, seemingly arbitrarily, and same with climbing and picking at the live rock.

Today he ate two pieces of mysis and later when I tried blood worms didn't seem interested. Could this be because he's small (a little over an inch), maybe a juvenille??

Is there some microscopic organism he's getting to eat in my sandbed or is he doing this because he's starving??
