Do corals eat pods?

I have a ton of amphipods, copepods, and what looks like isopods in my tank. My leaf fish, obviously, won't eat them and I am not putting any other fish in the tank. there as so many of them, they sometimes irritate my zoanthids and toadstool and cause them to close. Are there any corals that will feed on them? Any other ideas for keeping their population in check?
 
i think a 25 is proably too small for a mandarin ... maybe i could borrow someones for one week a month or something, but i don't want to starve anything.
 
many fish will munch on them, but yes alot of button polyps, and other corals will eat them

pretty much if the mouth is big enough and the pod gets too close it will get eaten

i had the same problem, my population skyrocketed when i had no fish, i have 2 now and its going down

i have also come in to see pods rear ends stickign out og a button polyps mouth, sometimes legs still kicking, quite cool actually
