Hello reefers,
I got this frag that came with the crab. The crab was already on the coral in LFS and frag looked great so I figured it’s reef safe.
But in couple of days part of went from this:
To this:
If you look at the circled part it’s clear that something is eating the polyps.
Do you think that coral can recover from this or should I cut off that branch?
here are some more pictures of the crab, hopefully someone can tell me if the crab is bad or is there something else eating my coral:
For now I removed him from the coral and placed him in a breeder box. If identified as bad I’ll chuck him into the sea.
thank you in advance
