May have just been bumped?I have a piece of monti that has been nawed on and I'm wondering if this could have been one of my long spine erchins. Has anyone had a problem with them doing this? I have had one in the tank for about 2 years now and never had a problem with it. I just recently added a second one to the display. Found this this morning when i got up.
Think I'll pull all my hermits in the fuge now just in case
I caught the hermit in the act chowing down on my duncan. Hes been moved so now time will tell i guessI'm still not convinced that the hermit ate off of kenandmoose's monti and/ or chalice.. unless the 6 line developed a taste for coral, none of the listed livestock would inflict damage like that
Yeah I had a long spine in a 190 gallon tank and literally about a foot in diameter. It didn't fit in a 5 gallon bucket fully extended. Chowed down on multiple SPS. You could physically hear it crunching. I watched it happen over a few weeks before I was convinced it was the primary problem instead of going and eating damaged SPS by some other culprit. It just ate the flesh and left the stoney skeleton behind. So that first picture of the montipora, I can't tell if that is a chunk of the skeleton missing as well. If something else broken it off then definitely the urchin could come behind and eat it. But the urchin wouldn't of eaten the skeleton.I believe @alanbetiger had a long spine urchin munching his SPS at one point.. So it does happen, his was fairly large iirc
