Are you sure? Maybe they're scavenging the dead tissue from the dying zoas?

Nah dont think so..i catch them at night munching away then morning time i can actuallu see the difference...those guys are big

Ive heard this a few time times. I don't buy it. Provided you have some other form of life in the tank, and you feed occasionally there is plenty of "food" for pods. They must have been eating dead/dying coral only.

I wish i could take a pic but they run away when the light shines on them..does yours molt?sometimes i see their outer skin floating...or maybe it just died...i feed at least 2xs a day and i dont have alot of fishes..theres more than enough left over food for them..i have a surprise for them this friday
