Are these goodies or badies? I have lots & lots. They all come out at night like a bunch of zombies when the lights go out & also at feeding time.

Does anyone else have this problem?

One LFS says they are good as they eat all left over food but I have noticed they also like my new zoa frag!

As above, they are ok when small but i think larger ones are prone to eating soft corals !!!!!

Any ideas on how to tackle the biggies? I've heard arrow head crabs eat them but will they take the big ones out & will they harm other stuff?
