So I have a 65 gallon reef tank. 2 clowns and a orchid dottyback. Lots of frags lps, torches, frogspawns, chalices and zoas.

My amphipod population looks nuts at night. Suckers are everywhere. Some of my corals look cranky. My torches in particular. I have a bunch of stuff on the sand bed and they swarm all over those frags.

So not sure if these things are buggin my corals or things are just fine. I am getting decent growth with my chalices and acans and zoas but at night sometimes everything looks angry and the torches are retracted. I snapped a pic if you look you can see some of these amphipods are pretty big. Not sure if I need to get something to control the population of them or just leave thing alone. I do spot feed my corals and daily feed the fish but I don't have algae issues and my water parameters have been consistent and good. So thought I would ask R2R.
