Thanks

Welcome to the board, always nice to see new faces here. Usually healthy zoas can withstand amphipod munchin but if its worrying you maybe it's time to add a wrasse to your tank.

Something small like a 6 line will work wonders.

Will a 6 line Warsse be ok in a 17 gallon?

Hey check out this website. I like to go here if I am looking for information. The six line wrasse is there.

I am thinking about getting a Hector's Goby. They are more compatible with the current tank inhabitants. Any thoughts on a Hector goby.
Cheers.
