I don't have many of them but when ever I see one on a zoanthid polyp I remove it from my tank.

But the large amphipods are probably those who ate your zoanthids. They come out at night and chew on the zoanthids. Check ou at night if you have them on your zoanthids.

Trust me. It was the stars. They either ate them or smothered them out.

And to add to that... They also block light on SPS. I was constantly basting my sps. They would leave white patches on the tissue.


At night with lights off... You could easily find 300+ on the glass àlone. Not counting what you could see covering the rocks. Once you get too many. The algae supply runs lower. Then they go after other things.

It matters not to me what others do with their tanks. The debate on safe or not is only for those who don't know the damage they can do first hand.

So go ahead. Debate. But if you want to make sure, take them out.

Everyone told me they were safe too.

Good luck !

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
