Mollies in Sump

Hi
Does anyone know if mollies will eat up all the chaeto and pods in the sump?
Thanks

I don't believe they'd touch pods. They are algae eaters. I do suspect they'd go to town on Chaeto though. The bigger question is why would you put them there?

I was thinking they can help clean the refgium a bit by eating algae. Also I have a display Refugium, was thinking to have some fish to swim in it.

Mine have eaten PE pellets and frozen mysis and lots of tank algae. I am not sure I have caught eating pods but I figure it is if easy enough.
 
All mollies will eat pods, but not all really want to.
Black mollies are supposedly a bit better, preferring to graze.
Unfortunately, I don't think all that many fish really "like" to eat Chaeto either.

And pods will presumably still hide deep in the chaeto.
