Does this look like a keyhole? Something is eating the base of my monti cap. It's the only coral being affected right now. The only thing I see is these guys. I've never noticed them before, but I seem to have a lot... I've been killing as many as possible the last couple days.

Have you looked for monti eating nudis?

Yes I've been looking for anything and everything. Unfortunately the monti is encrusted on a large rock, so I can't really dip it.
 
If your tank can support it i like yellow corris wrasse for pest control.

I have a leopard wrasse who I'm certain snacks around. These things are tough for me to even kill. They are strong. I think I'll just keep picking away at them and see if the monti destruction stops. At least they picked one of the toughest corals I have. I'll update if I figure it out.

Thanks for the help.
