    Default colt coral getting eaten

    I have a colt coral that is being eaten by something. It looks like it has tears down the side and it is all shriveled. I do not see anything on it that could poosibly be the cause. I have not added any new fish. We have a yelloe tang, a six line rasse an orange spotted goby and a pink spotted goby and we also have 3 pajama cardinals. There is also a black tuxedo urchin and a black long spine urchin.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what the culprit might be? We have had this coral for almost a year and it has been doing great. We have recently had a problem with nudibranchs eating our zoas but we cleared that up.
    Where is all my money going too!!!!!
    55g 500w MH total 70lbs live fuji rock 30lbs sand
    10g nano tank for a mantis shrimp..
    150g that is starting up
    2000g pond with 8 koi and 1 fat goldfish(and I do mean FAT) lol

    Default RE: colt coral getting eaten

    Mine had shrivals around the base on one side. I found my tuxido sea urchan had dislodge himself and a frag on top of the colt. Appears he blamed the colt and left a few spines behind. I pulled them out (they kinda fell apart) and it recovered with in hours.
    O, yea! now the right ear!
