    Well I might have a problem on my hands :eek: What creatures would eat mushrooms? The only thing I can figure is the flame angel - but I have never seen him do it. That being said the two mushrooms were tore in half over night.

    I was thinking 100% flame angel but the fact it's over night makes me question.

    Anyone know if there is a creature that might be doing this?

    Maybe a Eunicid worm. They are nocturnal and can do some serious damage to mushrooms or Zoa.

    my friend Steve eats mushrooms :), he is def not reef safe.

    Never heard of a fish that would eat them though, but I'm probably wrong, it's very common for me to be.

    I have red hermit crabs, blue legged hermit crabs and one left handed hermit crab - no others I am aware of.
