I've established that I have a relatively large Eunicid worm in my tank. It's been in there for well over a year. For the past 6 months I've had damage to various SPS in my tank. Little chomp marks taken out of them. They range across the tank and at all levels. It happens during the day. I've removed suspicious fish, but it's still happening. Could this worm be the culprit or is it low on the list of suspects?????
 
it may be though they mostly go after softies,also what is your fish list it could be one of them.
 
I've been going thru hell with this. I've removed a cherub angel a pinktail trigger, and a sailfin tang, and still have a nipper. Other inhabitants are

Flame hawk
purple tang
spotted mandarin
purple pseudochromis
pearl headded Jawfish
pink skunk clown
false percs

I'm at a loss here!
 
none of those look like suspects. i would try and catch the eunicid and get it out because it might be the culprit and they will also go after slow moving fish when they get big.
