Missing firework coral

[AndrewRichards]

Hello, last night I went to bed with a healthy colony of 10 firework clove polyps. When I woke up this morning all 10 of them had detached and are missing. It seems they have just vanished. I have had this coral for three months, and nothing has changed in my tank. What happened?

Got Emerald Crabs?

 

[AndrewRichards]

No

I do not have emerald crabs

I do not have emerald crabs

I can’t see them detaching, I have them myself.

Do you have anything in the tank not reef safe?

 

[dedragon]

they could have died and snails hermits or something just finished em off

No, everything in my tank is reef safe.

Could you list your stock?

My emerald crab and hermit crabs decimated my first attempt of clove polyps. Even if they are "reef safe", crabs are still crabs and don't really know what looks fun to pick apart and what doesn't.

My best guess is still that something ate them. Did you put live rock in your tank? If so you could have a hitchhiker that you don't know about that could've done it.
