a week ago I noticed a small patch the size of a quarter looked like it had been eaten away. Thought maybe one of my crabs was gonna like this coral just a little too much.

Got to looking at it with a flashlight (still in the tank) and decided to pull it out and dip it and give it a good look over. I put the coral under my dessk light and very deep in one of the crevices I dug this thing out with a pair of tweezers. Like a very tough piece of burnt steak. I tried cutting it with a pair of scissors and the thing had blood come out of it. Have no idea what it could be. Any way I got the Coral in QT and doing feedings everyday and it seems to be coming back a little. Just interesting.

Creepy is right

And nope...no one has a clue

I know this place that gave me the coral doesnt dip anything..sell it straight out of the box. Im sure there are going to be some tanks crash if people arent dipping his stuff.

I wanted better pics but a family member borrowed my camera and it came back broke. The camera I have now just sucks. I need a nother camera...sigh
