What about your fuge, how long has it been set up? Do you see lots of pods in there? And just like blas said, how much live rock do you have, since that's all they do all day is hunt on the rocks.
This is only semi-true. I have a 125g with 50x turnover and can see pods EVERYWHERE. The best place to check is in the algae on your glass. I quite often see pods coming out of holes in rocks to grab small bits of flake/food as it floats by. My cleaner shrimp can often be seen chasing them too :P
