What fish do you have? And do you have any shrimp. Most likely that happened from something stealing food from the mouth of thw coral. Do you have any blennies or peppermint shrimp?
I have two peppermints, an emerald, lawnmower blenny, hawkfish, two clowns and a spotted goby.

The shrimp have been eating aiptasia, so random to hit the scoly.

Peppermint are the most likely suspect.

Should I pull the scoly now or wait, it still has all of its colors.

Do you have a separate tank for it? Whoever just got a taste of it will definitely be back. The meaty corals are always the first ones to get hit like Scolys, Lobos, Acans, etc.

Good choice.
Don't know if I could ever pick just one song as my favorite....
I have favorites from different periods of my life...
But here's the one I've played the most times in my life.
The whole cd I played so much I burned a whole in it in places and had to buy another...

My wife and I bought us a stereo system as a wedding present to each other for our new apartment ( I was in school in St. Louis). It had record player, dual cassette player and a 5 cd player. I bought my very first cd for it it was Dire Straits.

lets not forget the snapping turtles they catch by hand wiggling their finger!
I heard their lifetime limit is 10! 🤪

Do you have a cage you can put over it that the shrimp can't get into?
no I don’t, I will look into one. It doesn’t have a mouth, how will it eat? I wonder if it can still send its feeder tentacles out.

I still think early 80's had the best music. mostly from the UK too. all other areas had some great music but not as much.
All born from the dynamic 60s and 70s!

British music scene schools like Canterbury, Kingston Art School Regent Street polytechnic, Ealing Art College etc. we're the think tank that built the sound that evolved into basically anything cutting edge that came out of the UK in the 80s 90s and even today.
