Question How do I remove pods from chaetomorpha and breeding setup?

How do I remove pods from my breeding system? I can not have any due to them eating the eggs. I want to add some of my chaetomorpha, but need to clean it of pods and other creatures first? I have ReVive Coral Cleaner, I have to be absolutely sure there are no pods.

No offence but i highly doubt pods are eating the eggs. Have you actually seen them do it or just a guess?

Yeah, I agree. Pods mostly eat dead stuff. There are some evil pods, but for the most part if they are eating your eggs, then they were dead.

I'm breeding nudibranch and the pods do eat the eggs.

OK, but by "pods", what are you referring to? Copepods won't, but amphipods will, as will mysids. People play so loose with "pods" its hard to tell just what they are talking about.
