Something happened last night, and I'm not sure if my prized JF Favia spontaneously melted away or if something is eating it. I have a few dozen corals and this is the first time. I'm leaning towards something hungry eating the flesh, because I see remnants of fluorescence flesh still on the skeleton. Also if you look closely, there are still "stringy guts" on the skeleton, which tells me its been freshly eaten and not a slow deteriorating.
It seems like ALL the mouth/eye has been devoured, so without any feeding mouths, does this favia have a chance of survival, and how can I save it? It's on a frag rack so the only possible thing that could get to it at night are shrimps (skunk, fire shrimp, or peppermint), or a known polyclad flatworm.
