For those living on the California coast, have you ever caught any wild Tigriopus Californicus to feed to your tank? I was exploring the tide pools between Malibu and Ventura and saw pools with hundreds of thousands of orange pods. It’s pretty tempting right now to try going back to see if I can catch some using a turkey baster and a sieve.
I am however concerned about potentially introducing parasites or any unknown hitchhikers into the tank. I know the west coast is a coldwater environment, but that doesn’t mean it’s free of risks.
