There are thousands of types of amphipods. The common ones get to about 3mm and are herbivores/detrivores. They're not a problem at all, even in huge numbers.
The ones pictured are very clearly a different species, and it's totally possible they're coral eaters.
I don't know why people want to turn "amphipods" into one animal.
