"Dinoflagellates are eaten more by copepods than by any other organism."

" The results show that Ceratium provides a suitable food
source for advanced copepodite instars and adult cyclopoid copepods, although it is not a preferred food source"

"Copepods limited to K. brevis ate 480% as much as those fed only R. lens, suggesting that copepods attempted to compensate for low food quality with increased quantity ingested."

These are all different species of copepods and dinoflaggelates, but maybe what we can take away from it is that copepods in our aquariums might not want to eat dino's, but will. Would love to find an article about tisbe eating dinos.
