Coral eating parasite ID help!

[csamsock]

I have the below pest consuming Soft and LPS in my reef tank. They appear to be some type of Copepod? They originated in the sad bed and had been picking at the goni and elegance that was in the sand, now they have expanded into the rock structure and have attacked my Euphyllia, torch, open brain, bubble, etc. They appear to leave a sand tunnel as they move across the rocks and around the fleshly base of the corals that they consume. I have tried CoralRx, Iodine, fresh water with physically removal of the pests but they just keep coming back. I'm considering Interceptor for the whole tank at this point.

The largest I have seen is about 2mm and appears to centipede like legs. They move fairly quickly almost resemble micro Mantis Shrimp, and don't appear to be any of the frequent pests (red, white bugs, nudi, et. Sorry the pics are a little blurry due to the size. Also included a pic of the sand trails, Thanks.

Looks kinda like an amphipod maybe?

It's not only on one coral, they are in the sand, on the rock, and on the coral.

dang! It does, didn't know there were any that were coral eating? I was hoping they were simply starving so have increased fish/coral feeding hoping the increased waste would keep them off the coral.
