Wasp fish I believe...are they typically very expensive?

I’ve seen him the last two nights! Such a weird fish lol

I kind of have to disagree with this. I have 3 of them and I doubt they would even see a copepod. They are predators like lionfish and need meatier food much larger than a copepod. I assume they would eat larger amphipods. I feed them earthworms and they can eat quite a large worm.
But I am not the God of Waspfish.

Is there any concern with earthworms and tank pollution? Would earthworms from the gas station for fishing be acceptable?

If possible I would dig worms from an area in your yard with no pesticide/fertilizer - if possible. It is probably that earthworms from a bait shop, etc are fine (I don't know if they are regulated) - but they likely are to a degree since they are potentially going into the environment - and into food fish.

I have a small yard and my neighbor LOOOOVES round up. So I think I only would trust them from a bait shop

Yep, they are fine.
