what eats xenia

[cary Henderson]

Aside from choc chip stars.. learned that one already...
what would be eatin my xenia?
have green chromis, yellow tail blue devil, lawnmover blenny and figure eight puffer...arrow crab and peppermint crab..
first though one was dying but am noticing on second one the heads are being eaten just stalk on some of it and the first one is now all eaten just a clump with some stalk no heads ..all water levels are fine no noticable slime on it???
anyone???

I think it would be the arrow crab. A few people i know have had there arrow crabs eat coral.

possibly the puffer :|

peppermint crab? do you mean shrimp?

[cary Henderson]

yeah thats the ticket..
food on the brain..
puffer really?? he's been so good.. 7 months in reef...never ate any other corals..awe then maybe...the others were so curious of the aptasia they died from it..
maybe gotta figure eight fer sale..
can't find any info on web as to what eats it besides choc chip star..
and that is in my daughters nano tank..

my xenia occasionally loses some heads. I have nothing in my tank that would eat it. I even found one little chunk one day mowed right down. Seems to happen off and on. Dunno why.
