Where to find amphipods and copepods

Hi all,

I purchased Real Reef Rock and used packaged sand for my tank. I guess the nice thing is I don't have any "bad" hitchhikers but I'm also missing all the copepods and amphipods that usually come with "wild" live rock.

Does anyone know where I can buy or find 'pods and other critters?

I got these copepods from Aquatic Collection a couple of days ago.

Everyone gets amphipods and copepods. They will come when you buy/trade corals. Even if you dip all your corals you will have amphipods/copepods.

I started with dead rock and dry sand. I have all the typical reef aquarium hitchhikers even though i dipped and inspected all corals.
 
I might take you up on that Ender. Maybe when I pick up the frags. Time to start on my fuge. And maybe some chaeto will pull some of the amphipods away from the corals in the biocube.
