Gall crabs possibly...

Gall crabs possibly...

Easy to kill? Dip?

 

[domination2580]

You would have to dig them out. But that's if it is gall crabs. That's the only way I know how to get rid of them

Yea it could be a burrow. Has it developed like that or did it come like that?

You can look for or make a crab trap if it is one.

 

[cody2cannon]

Developed, I bought it from WWC few sales back

Anything nearby with sweepers? It does look like a burrow though.

Another favia

Grab I picture of it in a dish if you can please. A crab will make a burrow.
Somebody else eating it will scrape the flesh off. So you’ll see bone under the wound

I can get a usable photo, its to small and all I have is a phone camera but looks like burrows. I moved it away from the other Favia

 

[cody2cannon]

Should I wait to see if it was the Favia or do these little guys work quickly?

 

[cody2cannon]

I'm thinking this guy is what caused my rocker is to act up three other day. It's sweepers are at least 2 inches long. Twice its size

So its been a couple weeks and I have moved some things around and I'm fairly certain it was a sting not crabs. The 2 holes have closed up and gotten smaller
