Coral muncher?

[RMPD109]

Well I went home this evening and the wife asked what happenned to my mushroom. I went to check and it was gone. It was a small 1in ricordea shroom. It was solidly attached to the rubble I got it on. Checked the tank and did not see it floating. What would have gotten it? Should I worry about other corals?

inverts- nassarius snails, mexican turbo snails, red leg hermits, peppermint shrimp

Hitchers- Urchins, rock crabs of some type, bristleworms, eunacid worms limpits, pistol shrimp

limpits,

known to enjoy the ocassional coral. Mine ate some xenia before I moved it to the sump.

Did it float behind your rocks? I've had ricordia fall off and get trapped behind live rock. They are still back there and doing ok.

I checked but did not see it right off. I was only home from work to pick up something so did not have time to give a good search. It was small but growing great. Hopefully I can find it in back of the tank. I have seen 3 limpits in the past but its been a week or more since the last sighting.

Do you think the rest of my corals are good or should I be concerned?

I would recommend capturing the limpits and bringing them to the LFS or putting them in a sum if you have one. Not worth the risk.
