Ya, but I'm trying to recall when I've seen either of those make cause that kind of damage so quickly. The nudi that ate my leather made a smooth hole through it.

This was the damage done by a large tritoniopsis species.

I dont know if you ever figured this out or not, but I actually had emerald crabs in my tank (I got rid of those evil jerks) after one of them attacked my toadstool leather, and very quicky took a HUGE chunk out of the side. It looked like a beaver had chewed out part of a tree trunk. My toadstool leather is luckily hearty and is bouncing back but it took a whole day for it to perk back up. But it did some damage and FAST to my toadstool leather.
