What's eating my coral ?

[Stevor]

Hi Guys,

The base and lower branch of my coral has been scraped away, looks like crab damage to me. But what do you think ?

What fish do you have in there?

 

[Stevor]

Nothing coral eating , tangs and wrasses .

It might be RTN

looks like necrosis to me. If it is still progressing you may want to frag it to save it.

Is it from the base up or just one of the side branches? Try removing the side branch.

Thanks for the help guys .It's def not rtn or stn, the coral looks like something has been eating through to the skeleton. If you look closely at the base you can see scrape marks , I think it maybe crab damage . Late night crab hunt is on !
