amphipod control

Can someone recommend a reefsafe fish that will help control amphipod. My Manderin dragonet doesn't seem to be very interested at the amphipod but is doing quite well picking at copepods.

The Mandarin should be enough. It won't eat the adults but it will eat the larva and young Amphipods. This should deplete the population significantly in time.

I agree with Bang Guy about the mandarin, I would also like to add that shipping them to me would help deplete the population as well :D
As to the mandarin I had one in my 55 gallon and I saw pods all the time day and night, withing 6-9 months he had just about wiped them out.
