What’s eating my digi?

[SJ701]

Found this guy tonight, not the monti eating nudi I was looking for but it seems to be scavenging what’s left off the skeletal portion of my ff digi. Long body, long antenna..

 

[SJ701]

It’s an Amphipod…

 

[PjFish]

The arrow I added looks alot like the rear end of a flatworm?

 

[Coral reefer]

Or just tissue that hasn’t died yet?

 

[tribbitt]

I think that’s just living tissue. If that part is very shaded or not receiving flow, the coral can just die off on the bottom. Very normal

I agree that the first photo is an amphipod, but can’t ID it further. All I can say is I have the same ones and my montis never died off like that until I got nudis

 

[PjFish]

Hope the bat wing shape is just a dead tissue coincidence!! But something is dining on his digi

im about to throw a 6 line in and see if nature corrects itself...

 

[PjFish]

good luck

 

[jhuynh]

you able to remove it and do a quick dip?

 

[gmdcdvm]

Good luck and be careful that six line doesn't take out more than the pods.

Dunno if I'd go that far either, they can be very aggressive to other fish and inverts

In my opinion the 4 line wrasse is prettier and in my limited experience behaves better than 6 line wrasse. (I’ve only ever had one of each though.)

I have a pink streak that a friend gave me when he shut down a couple years ago. It’s pretty cool looking and very friendly so far.

@Patio
You have a great fish!

4-line wrasses tend to be both more difficult to find and have a poor survival rate.
6-line wrasses are very common and do very well, but they can be the biggest assholes.
6-lines, Halicorus species are good at pest management

I have a pink streak too. Super timid but very friendly fish.
