so i have noticed that over the last month a small colony of magician zoas has been looking a little pale in color. i though maybe it was the water but i have my water in tiop top shape now and they still looks kinda weird and faded. in the last few days i noticed them not open at all. tonight before i was going to bed, i looked into the tank with a flash light and saw a bunch of large adult amphipods eating a few heads. i am sure they are eating it because i watched one of the fat buggers sit they and chomp on it like he didnt care about the super bright flash light on him. i think i saw him flip me off too!
the type of amphipods i am refering to is the big guys that kinda look like a dog flee or something. they came be about 2 or 3 mm long but stay kinda curled up most of the time, kinda like a shrimp. the pics of them are pretty common on the web.

so my though was i need a wrasse or a manderin goby stat. i have no preditors of them in my tank right now because... well i wanted their numbers to grow so i could then get one... lol i guess its time.
anyone else have this happen?
