Rock pods

i was reading in some ones post not to long ago that if you take "feeder shrimp" and surround it with rubble it will become a pod hang out is feeder shrimp like the stuff you buy from the supermarket or like brine or mysis and has any one done this before?

 

Won't your hermits just eat it?

 

not in my case in will be in my fuge which is hermitless

 

i use a big pile of hermit shells, were in my main display but recently moved to fuge. and i have to say it works really well. any one having trouble keeping dragonetes i would def recommend this.

i would not add the shrimp, that would just add more decaying matter into your tank, food will settle into the shells on its own and they will quickly populate it. you want the pods to disperse at night and search for food to eat else were, you dont want to provide them a shrimp buffet.
