Hello and welcome to R2R and emeralds are known for going rogue and eating coral.

Thank you and oh he’s out my tank I had a feeling something was gonna happen cause people said story’s about the same thing and how they are not reef safe but I was just gonna watch him and as soon as I add coral caught him ripping it and eating it just glad he went for that instead of my new candy cane

Give it 10 to 15 days and that mushroom will look good as new.

WELCOME!!!! You'd be amazed at how well corals can recover even with the smallest bit of it left provided the conditions are good for recovery.

Welcome to R2R. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.

Welcome! Since you got the emerald out you should be good to go. I wouldn't be surprised if the mushroom bounces back.

When getting a emerald crab you must make sure it’s a female, males eat coral

How do you determine this?

How do you determine this?

Honestly I just stay away from emeralds since I don’t know but I’m sure someone else here does. It has something to do with the shape of their belly

I think your mushroom will be fine. I have cut them out of my tank, accidentally leaving the smallest lump of flesh, that has grown back into a full mushroom. They are actually pretty difficult to kill. Not impossible, but difficult.

And welcome aboard!
