Just noticed a hole in the stock. Any ideas what it is?

hi not sure what is causing,the black is dead tissue,would take razor and cut out divot ,removing all black tissue,do an iodine based dip,hopefully will stop the spread :)

Looks like maybe something was eating it and the small wounds got infected? In any case, fish guy is right and you should try to remove as much dead tissue as possible :)

This^. Black and/or gray color is tissue necrosis. Could be a infection. It may spread, Frag away the dead tissue and dip as @fishguy242 stated.

also, after cutting place in high flow for a few days ,coral may not like, but will help heal wound

And run some CAG as leathers will give off toxins that irritate other corals. A water change as well.

Thanks to all going to try and cut away the dead tissue can not remove coral from tank.

Clean utility razor blade or surgical scissors and straight cuts. Remove any and all dead tissue from the tank. Healthy fragged pieces can be reattached using loose rubber bands to rock rubble.
