Last night I decided to creep up on the tank 2 hours later after lights out. I found a small crab inside the eye of the chalice. All I could really see is his claws sticking out and moving around. Could this be the reason its bleaching? And how do I get rid of the crab?
I also just installed new led lighting and the other day I came home and my mushroom coral was dead and one of my Monti caps was getting white spots on top. Could this all come from the same problem or is my light too strong. I already turned it down.
Thanks

chalices are tolerant of strong lighting but prefer lower light, they will change color if the lights are too bright or too dull.
if its bleaching it could be the crab but id look more into the leds and look at my water quality and temp i have crabs hang on my chalices all the time and they do fine.
should be noted that chalices dont take to light changes very well especially to leds
