    Sorry I know this is the second thread I am posting about this issue (first was in general reef)

    But I am now a little worried - I have started to notice some of my coral mushrooms are being eaten or ripped in half. It is happening over night - I do not think it would be the flame angel since it's happening at night. I don't think it's a eucid worm (but could be) since no other corals seem to be having issues. I do not have any crabs that I know of (other then hermit)
    Anyone know what creature targets mushrooms - is there a type of NUDIBRANCHS that targets mushrooms?

    If they are ripped in half, I would lean towards a crab. Turn off your lights early tonight. Leaving the room dark, use a flashlight with some red cellophane rubberbanded to the lens and look around. (Crabs have a difficult time seeing red).
