Also I have a Frogspawn 12-13 heads a Torch about 15 heads and a small bubble coral. I do run carbon full time. Is there a possiblity of chemical warfare. Tank is only 40 gallons

If you run carbon, have a skimmer and do regular water changes your corals shouldnt be suffering from chemical warefare.

That damn pep shrimp was just on it again after I moved into a little stronger flow to keep it clean....I think he's going to have to go....Can't be doing it any good.

I thought about that, but he was back at the same exposed spot picking away three times in a half an hour or so... no tolerance for a 20 dollar shrimp eating my 120 dollar brain. Had to be "put" down as they say...I couldn't knowingly pass on a monster like him could I ?? lol.

could have put a strawberry basket(or something similar) over the brain to protect it while it heals.....if your into LPS, a good thing to have on hand(and even if your not into LPS) is a good coral dip.....as said before LPS are very susceptible to infections.....if the tissue continues to recede or you see any brown jelly, take the brain out and dip it.
