that def wasnt an amphipod then..or maybe the colony was already dying and they were just cleaning up. They will run all over them but not harm them. sure you dont have them confused with an isopod
I heard that they sometimes eat zoa's.And I see them crawling all over them.When I start my new tank.Should i dip all new zoa's?

I usually give all my Zoo's a freshwater dip before they go in the tank

And that does not harm them?And does that get the parasites off.I have heard that dipping zoa's,can sometimes cause them to get really stressed out.

Just curious as to why you are making such a huge frag tank. Do you have a 300 gallon reef or something similar?

yes it usually takes care of any bad guys on there...Unless you have Nudi eggs on the zoas then you will have to scrape them off by hand. but it will kill any of the other bad guys on it..Yes it makes the zoas mad and they stay closed for about a day but it wont hurt them

I actually prefer an iodine dip like lugol's to freshwater.

ehhh..I use Lugols for SPS and LPS but not Zoa or paly..it aggravates them way to much..I lugol dipped my colony of RPE and they wouldnt open for 5days after
