Nice shot! Bits of fish food will sustain their diet. Your tank flow through the sump and ats will bring sufficient air.

Yap Mike...they are some swimming in my sump tank.

I also have a small 5in holder for a handful of them :) But I know they are not Zoas safe...but good for fishes diet...sad n glad ?!?

hi klim,

thanks for the amazing photo of the amphipods! you mentioned that they are not safe to the Zoas. what do they do to the Zoas? i know that although they are omnivorous, most of them are more inclined towards meat.. but do they eat Zoas?

maybe if you have mandarins or wrasses, they will be wiped out before they can do any real harm to the Zoas? :)

Hi Lance, I is saw a video on Youtube about how they consumed the Zoas. It was scary and interesting.

Alot depends on luck as in this forum there are reefers whom have shared experience on certain microorganisium. Alot of advise that when brought Zoas, dipping is require using some chemical (need to check the web) or fresh water dipping to take out those hitch hikers.

Do a search and you will find out more. I am still learning and experiencing.

Cheers, Kelvin.
