They are burrowing through the skeleton... the coral seems alright aside of the damage of the tunnels. At one end of the hole, there was a thing that looked like a little crab claw almost... this is the best I can describe it. I am trying to get pictures of the hole itself, but the critter was removed and there are no photos of it. When we pulled it out, it broke apart and squished. Not much left to take a pictures of...
I keep trying to get pictures but an iPhone is just not the thing to take close up shots like this.
