Pod eating zoo

Have a 29 biocube with a couple small clowns came home to find pod eating my zoos maybe looking to find a fish that can cut down there population and will eat other foods if there run out of pods. Any ideas?

Something is not right here... it's either not a pod or it's not eating your coral. Most likely it's been eating algae on your zoas. Just in case check forums for a links to zoa pests to be sure you didn't get some nasty nudi...

Looks like an amphipod. Never heard of one eating coral myself, google it though and see other people saying so. Dunno, not my experience. Only heard of them eating dying ones.

Not sure if that tank is big enough for any specific type of Wrasse, but I know mine cut down the pod population in a matter of days when I first got him.
Snorvich usually has good advice on this sort of thing.
