Amphipods or Copepods would not eat your zoas.

Are you sure they weren't nudibranches? Also, sometimes zoos just melt away for no good reason, I've had it happen with several of my frags.

No there all gone now but when I saw the amphipods eating them I moved them and they scurried away and the next night they were back to finish the job

for what ever reason, your zoas were dyeing. The pods just came in to clean up the dead matter.

Thats weird cause I had the same problem. And thats kinda what they looked like. Not the Nubi. I stopped buying them and switched to SPS.

His tank is too small for a mandarin. And I love my pods! Other fish will eat them, too. What do you have in there now?

Just a yellow clown goby and a small banded pipefish and clean up crew, I was thinking a coral beauty or sixline. I want an active swimmer and I'm building a screen lid so jumpers aren't to big of a problem

I'd go with the six line. Wrasses love pods!
