So i get out of the hospital yesterday and get home to my beloved reef and notice that my little Stylophora Coral was complete retracted and didn't look good. then i notice my two peppermint shrimp picking at him. think really not much of it i decided to move the coral. so this morning i noticed both peppermint shrimp picking the little polyps out. caught the little jerks. the will be in route back to the LFS not sure if the Stylophora Coral will recover he doesn't look good

Stylo's are one of my favorites. Sorry man! Hoping it recovers, and that the shrimp were the cause, not just a symptom.

Keep us posted. Maybe share a picture.

Here are to pics. I decided to remove the 2 peppermint shrimp and send them packing to the LFS. I hope I caught the right 2 cause I have 3 in there. The 3 rd little guy is not as social so I think I got the to murders

Wow! That's total destruction. I've heard of peppermints picking on corals, but that's crazy!

Sorry dude.
