paige's herbivore feeding experiment

I've been collecting two different generalist herbivores that we are going to use in feeding experiments with Gracilaria vermiculophylla to see if the the herbivores like eating the seaweed or are repelled by it. One of them is an amphipod called Ampithoe valida, and the other is an invasive isopod called Synidotea laevidorsalis. We are unsure whether or not the isopod eats the Gracilaria so we will be running trials after we collect enough herbivores. Right now the cultures of the animals are in my house and living in a small, makeshift aquarium!
