amphiopods eating zoas

As has been recently talked about this is whats going on in my tank. Everyday i wake up and look in the tank i have less ans less. So my question is this.

1. Wrasses the lfs said that they would eat my pods but that they would also eat my shrimp. So is this true with all wrasses? There isnt any kind that wont eat shrimp but will the amphiopods

2. If i cant get a wrass to do the job is there some other fish that will?

3. If there is no fish that will help with my problem can i just take the whole rock out and do a fw dip that will kill the pods?

Please someone help cause at this rate i will have no zoas left in well 2 weeks.

Thanks Tim
 
6Line wrasse, Mandarin ( only if established large tank ), other smaller wrasses ( reef friendly ) like fairy wrasses and such... I also heard of damsels eating them ( but I hate those things )

Although they have decimated 6 of my different colonies of various zoos, the swarming and killings have stopped... ever since adding a green mandarin ( spots ) and teamed it with my 6line.... I don't see anymore swarming at night... Just dip the colonies in Lugols... to remove unwater pests and help the zoo's that are still alive to heal...
 
I have a mandarin and a golden wrasse that keeps mine in check. My golden wrasse has no interest in my shrimp now but that may change in time.
