You could bottle those amphipods and sell them as food. Hell, I'd give you a frag for a bottle of them just for a treat for my fish. Lol!

Who needs a fuge when your pods are tough enough to steal food from everything else...
I know most are 1 - 1.25cm with LOTS of little ones (now that I found my ruler)... then there are a handful of larger ones.... When you see the smaller ones wrestle a pellet right from my snails. Yikes. Their pretty good about not stealing it from the Acans, but the snails do then the pods steal from the snails, circle of life.
Just watched 3 mid sized ones steal food from the 6" bristle worm thats been living in my 1 rock for months (Thought he was dead, hadn't seen him in awhile).

I will take your word for it, I hope the shrimp can hold their own! Have always wanted a skunk cleaner and some little shrimp.... Anyone have any agressive shrimp they dont want?

How about a catch your own pod day? Just bring a line and hook. Maybe I should start selling them off.... hmmm...

I've got some of those monster pods, too. I'm hoping my Bangaii Cardinal will eat them. They make me nervous.

Those are amphipods from the looks of it, and a lot too. IME they are zoa munchers lol. They are harmless other then that. Do you feed lots to your tank?
