I am very puzzled....I have a 3.5 year old tank. Very established and stable. Have 50+ corals growing and very happy, both LPS and SPS. Woke up yesterday and small triangle chunk of tissue was missing from my orange plate coral. When the lights came on, the coral still looked great, was puffy and happy despite the missing tissue. Now this morning I wake up and there's an even larger chunk missing.
The coral has been very happy, showing absolutely no signs of stress. In fact I could argue that prior to this happening, it looked as good as it ever did.
I dont really have anything that would eat it. The only thing that may annoy it are my peppermint shrimp walking all over at night.
I thought maybe it was getting stung by something so I moved it yesterday, but the fact it had an even larger chunk missing today rules out that it was getting stung. To be honest I am clueless.
8.5 alk, 420 cal, 1350 mag, 5 nitrate, .05 phosphate (all been stable for along time)
Any thoughts what could be going on?
