Is there something cool that wont ead pods in my refugium?

My 7 gal refugium has a good deal of macroalgae in it and a few pods, in hopes of breeding enough to one day have a mandarin. Is there something cool (fish, crab, shrimp...?) I can house in my refugium that wont eat my pods? Any suggestions?

I have two extra large turbo's that were knocking over things in the main tank and a fighting conch. They keep the micro-algae down so I can see in

You can throw just about any crab or shrimp you want in there. 1 or 2 crabs won't even put a dent in the pod population of a fuge with macro. I wouldn't put a fish or star.
