Also what did this to my coral??

I don't see any tissue receding so thats a good thing.

Do you have anything that could be nipping at it?

 

[UkiahTheTurtle]

My fish are 2 clownfish a purple firefish and a Yasha goby pistol shrimp pair

 

[MERKEY]

It just looks to be pulled in. They do that sometimes. Some more than others, and sometimes when getting irritated.

Is it near the goby shrimp pair? They could be tossing sand towards it and irrigating it....

 

[UkiahTheTurtle]

I was near them but I pulled it out and put it somewhere else in my tank on the other side but I know that it is missing tissue

yes

 

[MERKEY]

yes

The flesh below it is not receding as far as I can tell from the pic.

Looks as if it was knocked over and rubbed on the sand or next to a rock.

Agree this doesn't look look bad or even abnormal. Still tho they should open all day if healthy.

My fav question for euphyllia is do you target feed, they seem to really benefit from it, although it won't eat when closed up like that.

I'd say give it flow and time and feed it if it opens up.

It almost always is open but it never will eat food
