Description:

Bring the best of the ocean’s ecosystem into your aquarium with Live Triggers from Reef Solutions. These large, hardy red copepods, also known as Tigriopus californicus, are ideal for seeding refugiums, enriching biodiversity, and providing a high-nutrient live food source for your fish and corals.

Tigriopus californicus are known for their resilience and ability to thrive in a variety of marine environments. They not only reproduce rapidly but also contribute to a balanced tank ecosystem by grazing on detritus and algae, helping to maintain water quality while serving as an excellent food source. Their natural breeding behavior makes them a sustainable addition to your tank, ensuring a constant supply of live food for your finicky feeders.


Why Choose Reef Solutions Live Tigriopus californicus?

  • Rich in Nutrients: Cultured with our premium live phytoplankton, these copepods provide superior nutrition for fish, corals, and invertebrates.
  • Perfect for Difficult Feeders: Mandarins, dragonets, and other picky eaters will thrive on these natural pods.
  • Promotes Natural Behaviors: Adding live copepods to your tank encourages natural foraging behavior in your fish.
  • Sustainable Growth: Our copepods go through every stage of life, from eggs to adults, providing long-term biodiversity in your tank.
  • Locally Cultured: Produced in Surrey, BC, and shipped fresh without long shelf times, ensuring maximum vitality.

Instructions for Use:

For optimal results, add Live Triggers directly to your display tank or refugium. They thrive in rock work, macroalgae, and other substrate where they can breed and establish a lasting population. These copepods can enhance tank health by contributing to natural filtration, algae control, and providing a live food source that your fish will love.

To maintain a healthy population, we recommend dosing live phytoplankton to support their nutritional needs and breeding. Use within one week of purchase for best results, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four weeks with proper care in an open package for airflow.


Packaging & Shipping:
We package our Live Triggers in a large bottle or, for longer shipments, in a barrier pouch to ensure they arrive with plenty of oxygen and in peak condition.


Trust Reef Solutions for the freshest, most nutrient-dense copepods available, ideal for supporting the health, growth, and vitality of your marine aquarium.
