here are some of the normal sized guys during the day behind a water filter in our 28 gallon nano - bigger ones in our 125 gallon

Hard to tell but I don't think those are amphipods. However if you have those that size in your tank you surely have massive pods as well.

I'll wait until a dead one is floating in the water and take a picture of it against a ruler

Default Nudis

I'd be checking for zoa eating nudibranches. Google it, and if you find they are the things eating them, use reefwars method of getting rid of them.

Yea i don't think those guys are your problem. However it is something eating your zoas. A wrasse would make quick work out of almost any pest problem.

I seen one of the shrimp looking guys around my Rasta zoas - when he left, the flesh of the zoas (night time so they were closed) had some white to it, not your typical grey looking. here are some night photos and video - hope the links work:
