Candy cane trunk being eaten away?

[Jennie]

I don't know what is eating the base of my candy cane. I have looked very close and don't see any pests on it. Could it be a crab?

Probably something much smaller. I was just reading about marine beaver worms however unlikely the culprit. Try checking at night

Thanks I will do that!
