Leather coral help

[ds1000]

My leather coral has been smaller and no polyp extension for some time. There are white marks all over it. Any ideas what the marks are?

It could be either shedding or something is eating it. What else do you have in the tank?

Thanks for sharing that post. I think something might be eating it as I noticed this morning one of my zoas is missing polyps..

Agree it looks to me like something is eating it

 

[I never finish anythi]

My foxface started to eat my toadstool leather and it also had those spots .

Do you have algae for your urchin?

It could be the culprit if he is starving.

Seem to have enough but will make sure he does. Other night saw a peppermint shrimp by the leather coral but he did not seem to be going after it
