Something broke the tips off my oregon tort frag

Something has broken the tips off my brand new oregon tort frag overnight. Have had it only a few days. What could have done this? I have a coral beauty, but never seen her nip at corals. And wouldn't she just bite the flesh off, not actually break the skeleton? Could urchins, snails, or crabs do this? Other fish are 2 clowns, leopard wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, melanaurus wrasse, red-head fairy wrasse, and 2 anthias. I'm pretty sure my tank is cursed.

If I had to guess, I'd say your Coral Beauty owes you a thank you card.

+1 on coral beauty, but you can't blame him for good taste in coral

Dang, I was hoping that wasn’t it. Bummer.

I would suspect the urchin, mine is a bulldozer and sometimes I find frags of various monti digitata on the sandbed in the mornings. Usually the tell tail white rock trail of the urchin near the colony.

Bummer. I just picked up a frag about that size myself this weekend. Hopefully it can recover. If you have a red flashlight or UV light, perhaps you can investigate after the lights go out to see if anything is going after it at night when you are not looking. But my money is on the Coral Beauty.

The coral itself seems fine so far just a little smaller! Maybe the broken tips will encourage it to grow faster?
