zoa irritater

[blind1993]

i was wondering what was making some of my zoanthids close so i looked in the tank at night and found copepods everywhere, mysis shrimp, and amphipods that were all on the zonathids making them stay closed.
heres a pic of some

then i also noticed almost all of my frags had aspastia on them right in between polyps so i need to know how to kill them without killing the polyps.

The zoas can/will eat the former so that may be, but I do not think they'd irritate them. As for the aptasia, I'm not sure what you can use and not hurt the others

its only like 4-5 aspastias and the amphipods are pretty big.
