I thought so, but something is eating my red mille. That's the only thing that came off when I put it in the Lugols dip. Any isea what else would be eating it?

It's been eating the under side, so I couldn't see it right away. This is the only coral affected. All others are fully extending their polyps.

looks like a good crab as well. I found a good site for identifying all kinds of crabs but can't find it again. If I find it I will post a link.

You don't see any flat worms do you?

No flat worms. I haven't seen anything that doesn't belong in the tank except some cyano on the sand. I know that doesn't mean it's not in there.

I had a similar experience, was told the crab (which came with the acro) was okay. I had the coral for about 3 weeks then it started slowly turning white till it was all white. I never thought the crab might be the problem. My LFS said it was probably because my water might be out of balance. Now I'm wondering what really did caust the coral to die.
