    Hello,
    I looked in my fuge yesterday and noticed something moving I look closer and sure enough it was alittle creature. Did my research and I have a few amphipods in my fuge.

    Should I be worried about them?
    They are in my fuge should I be concern if they go in my dt?

    Can someone tell me more about them and what they do?
    I read that some fish feeds on them.

    I have been reading about them and some post said that amphipod ate some of the zoa and other post I have read are saying they are good to have.

    I am a little confuse.
    Thanks

    leave them be, they make a great natural food source as the population grows in the fuge and they migrate through the return to the DT. I doubt they actually eat zoa's but I have not read magnuses thread see the claim, can say I have never heard of them doing that before.
