i noticed my sump is now full of them. i been reading some post of people saying amphipods can eat corals. im not sure if i should be worrying about it. i managed to take some closer pics of them .

It's very rare for amphipods to eat corals. I wouldn't worry about it unless you actually observe it happening. Meanwhile, they'll help keep your tank clean and be good fish food.

i noticed my clownfish eating from the rock today and when i looked closely they were grabbing the pods. i guess they like them
