Skinny fast worm/bug looking thing

[Treenk]

So these little things keep annoying my zoa frags to death it's really hard to get a picture of them but they are quite fast when they run to hide but when they stay in place they kind of wiggle around. What do I do? That frag is down to one head and the one next to it closed its final head this morning.

It looks like maybe just an amphipod. Does it look like a little shrimp?

Jumping on this thread because I’m having the same issue. They look like tiny bugs running around. Can’t get a good enough look to see if they’re shrimp or not.

Yes sounds like amphipod which do not harm corals. Does it look like this?

 

[Erinlharrison]

They’re far too small to be able to tell at this point, honestly. I’ll try to get a good video here in a bit.

I couldn't load the video but just so your aware some types of amphipods do eat corals

The question to me is - is it a 'worm (or something) damaging the zoo' - or is the dying zoa being eaten, Unfort I cant see your videos
