Sick Colt Coral...any help appreciated!

Have you looked closely for nudibranches? They can blend in real well

I agree, most likely a softy eating nudibranch. It will look almost exactly like the coral itself. Also, have a look with a flashlight at night, they're a little more daring under cover of darkness.

The white one below is similar to the one I had (I thought my colt was reproducing, then one night I found it moving along the front glass).

Hi again,

Have a look at the area I circled in red. It sort of looks different from the rest of the coral. Perhaps the nudibranch??

Good luck!

K guys...if I have a Nudibranch causing the trouble...how do I treat for it? THANKS so much too, I really appreciate the input!

I just yarded mine off the coral. Perhaps remove the coral first if you can, if not, just better off getting it out of there before it does more damage IMO.
