A couple of weeks ago is when I first noticed that I had a couple of tips missing on a a couple of SPS. I didn't think much of it as I was in the tank cleaning and I thought I must have done it by accident. But today I noticed a 2 SPS with 8 tips missing on it and I wasn't in the tank for a couple of weeks. Is thier something that eats the tips off of Acros?
 
I had a huge crab which was running of with some of my frags . I found him and the dead frags ina large hole in a big rock.

My tanks is 2 years old now and I never had an issue until a couple of weeksago, nothing new in the tank for a really long time as i'm in the process of moving into a 210 gallon tank as I have no room at all in my 75 gallon. I have corals touching the front glass.
 
I have another large one in my 90g which has been around for atleast 4 years and I still haven't caught it . I almost did one time but ....Even a steak knife didn't get him .
 
WOW !!, so it looks like I have an ememy in my tank. How did you even notice him. I never seen him if I have one. Did you notice it at night?
 
I saw him once after a year and there after I cought him in his late nigt excursions although he was quick and held on like he was rock .
 
There is a guy in the local forums who had a crab in his tank for probably 4 years or more that he didn't know about. He only found it after he kept removing rubble that was pulled over a hole in his rock. The thing was over 2 inches across.
