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.
My one little peppermint shrimp almost killed all my lps. He'd pick at the center for food and eventually they started to degrade from the center out, just like yours. Then my tailspot blenny would pick at the damaged tissue. I had to remove the shrimp and cipro dose the tank to save it. I've been team "no shrimp" every since.

They are definitely little terrors.

Should I pull the scoly now or wait, it still has all of its colors.
Give it a chance! Move to lower light/flow if possible. As long as there's color (tissue) there's hope.

#smorgs only, Idea for everyone who might need this, I have a delay on timer for feeding that uses this.. If a one button push for return pump, wave maker and also skimmer is on your need list. This timer is easy to do, Apex users can do this. It will give you separate times for return/wave maker and skimmer, or how ever you want it. $50. The timers can be set for delay off or on. I do this for a living.
