I bought some chaeto for my new tank, and stupidly threw it into the water even before I had added the salt (rookie mistake). Immediately I saw pods start falling dead out of the chaeto, but I added salt and the pods returned and apparently survived. Sometimes I see a big one crawling around right away, and sometimes I have to stare for quite a while before I notice a tiny dot that could be detritus and is actually a pod.
Point is.... I bet there are pods in your chaeto, wether you see them or not. Dunk it in fresh water... you'll see them dying and falling out!!! jk.
