The Bleu 3D PodHaven™ is a compact copepod habitat designed to provide a protected environment where pods can hide, reproduce, and thrive within your aquarium system.

Placed in a sump, refugium, or low-flow area of your tank, the PodHaven creates hundreds of protected micro-cavities that shield copepods from predators while maximizing surface area for colonization.

When it's time to feed pod-dependent fish, simply remove the PodHaven and shake, splash, or place it in the display tank to release a concentrated burst of live copepods.

This makes it especially useful for reef keepers maintaining fish that rely heavily on pods as a natural food source.

Key Features

High-Density Pod Habitat

The PodHaven contains a dense array of internal micro-channels that create safe spaces for copepods to hide from predators while encouraging reproduction and colony growth.

Pod Harvesting Made Easy

Unlike loose rubble or chaeto, the PodHaven can be lifted out and transferred directly to the display tank, allowing you to release large numbers of pods exactly when your fish need them.

Integrated Retrieval Loop

A molded loop on the top allows you to attach a string or line, making it easy to retrieve the PodHaven from deep sumps or refugiums.

Reef-Safe Construction

Manufactured using 100% PETG, a durable and reef-safe material suitable for long-term use in saltwater aquariums.

Compact Sump-Friendly Design

At just 2" × 2", the PodHaven fits easily into most sump chambers, refugiums, or rockwork areas without taking up valuable space. 

Ideal For Pod-Eating Fish

The PodHaven helps support fish that rely heavily on live copepods, including:

• Mandarin dragonets

• Scooter blennies

• Leopard wrasses

• Six-line wrasses

• Other pod-hunting reef fish

Maintaining a consistent pod population is critical for these species, and the PodHaven helps create a sustainable food source within your aquarium system.

How to Use

1. Place the PodHaven in your sump, refugium, or low-flow area of your system.

2. Allow copepods to colonize and reproduce within the internal channels.

3. When ready to feed, remove the PodHaven and shake it in the display tank to release pods.

4. Return it to the sump to allow the population to rebuild.

Why Use a Pod Habitat Block?

Loose materials like rubble rock or chaeto can provide some pod habitat, but they are difficult to remove and harvest efficiently.

The PodHaven provides:

• concentrated pod habitat
• easy removal and harvesting
• predator protection for pod populations
• consistent food supply for pod-eating fish
