Pod Your Reef’s story began when we adopted “Mandy the Mandarin” from a fellow reefer who was breaking down his tank. We knew we owed it to Mandy to create an enviroment that was as close to a mandarin’s natural existance as possible. We wanted her to have a natural food source just as she would out in the ocean. We started cultivating pods for her and she thrived. 

Our love and devotion to Mandy drove our passion to begin caring for the reef community’s fishes who, like Mandy, do best on a live sustainable food source. So, in 2015 we founded Pod Your Reef. We are a family owned company in the San Antonio, Texas suburbs. Our focus is on providing a handfull of excellentproducts and treating customers like neighbors (ones you like, that is). This allows us to stay focused on quality and offer dense cultures that are top notch.
