Zoanthid-Eating Amphipods

nope
just potentially crabs and shrimp as far as stuff you intentionally stock
clams and snails are unaffected..........that probably isnt entirely accurate as Im sure they notice it but I have never once seen any harmed and have used the stuff a half dozen times over the years in displays
It also seems that once a crab lives through it, they buidl up a tolerance. I recall a lone hermit and some emeralds in the past who would be (apparently) unphased as well

I had the same issue.. My Zoanthids closed and would not open for months.. I dipped the Zo's in ReVie for 15 minutes and I noticed all to these creatures jumping of the Zo like rats on a burning ship.. After dipping the Zo's are open and everything looks much better.
Excuse me, what is ReVie? I can't find it in google...

It is a coral dip you couldn't find it because it is spelled ReVive:

I'm already use pro-coral cure "tropic marin" for cleaning zoas. Apmhipods dies after 1-2 min., after deep zoas colony into the fluid. But "cure" have a lot of iodine and it may be kill zoas (#11 in this problem list http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1154238&highlight=mucho) . What a composition have ReVive?

They are ate many polyps, after this I put my zoas into separate container and after 2 days all polyps was open!

I understand, I also had this problem once what I am trying to say is that they begin to eat your zoas because they are eating the detritus off the zoas and they nip the coral by accident. They then find that the zoas taste better than the detritus so they eat your zoas instead of the detritus. I don't know if what I am saying is true or not it just what I think happens.

They're opportunistic just like any other animal, if food source is scare or something else is more tasty and readily available compared to their usual food source, chances are they would switch to the new one.... your Z's and P's... I used to say this for a long time and people didn't believe me... LOL
Why people did not believe? This is very seems to be true.

Because some people have them and don't "seem" to have a problem...yet. I myself do not have a problem yet but I would not say I will never have a problem with them. The tank is well fed and with the wrasse and other fish probably keep them in check.
Newager- how is the amphipod population in the tank? Do you have a lot of them? planning in getting a wrasse?
When T5 is on I don't see them, but in the night I see hundreds of amphipods - smal and big, they sit in the rocks and sand. I think they are can eat rhodactises too. I get yellow wrasse and hawkfish,but they are sleep in the night and don't it amphipods, I think.
