Pods dont eat corals. Your corals were already dieing and they were eating the dead tissue.

It looks like a caprellid amphipod (skeleton shrimp) but i could be wrong

i think you on the right track but the tail on mine is fanned out just like shrimp. that one looks different in that aspect.

[mtc1966]

upon closer inspection with lights the tail may not fan out like a shrimp

there has been studies about certain species of pods found that do eat sps(some not even in a class yet), unless it was a fraud,but i think not. just like some flat worms eat planaria,and flats that eat pods, and some live in frogspawn,and the list is endless.
