HELP!! something's eating my corals!!

[lah0804]

Hey all,
I am currently in panic mode! Something is eating the stems of my hammer and trumpets. Whatever it is doesn't touch the coral itself just the stem part. I have now found pieces of coral on the sand bed after something chewed thru the entire stem. I have hermits in my tank but wouldn't think they are responsible? Any ideas as to what is devastating my tank and any solutions?
Thanks guys this is driving me crazy I even dreamed about it last night haha any help would be great!

More than likely what ever it may be is doing it in the middle of the night. Set an alarm and check it out.

is it a hole or just chunks? I am fighting rock boring clams that came in on an aussie lobo colony....

use a flashlight with a red lens (even just red celpphane) and see what's happening.
