Holes in leather

[sterling]

I've noticed a couple of "holes" in my very large leather.....any ideas?? The area around the holes is white....could these be burns? caused by additives? that's all I could think of.

Without a pic hard to say but id guess that something is munching on it. I had the same issue a while ago, turned out a 15 inch eunicid worm was eating it at night.
Try and get a pic posted.

i would also say ,some type of worm but hard to say for certain without a pic

Does this picture help?

Not much, but doesn't really look like any kind of "worm" hole i was expecting. :notsure:
How long have you had it? when did you notice it? the little white spot above and to the right, is that how the hole started?

I noticed it just today, I'm thinking it looks like something burned thru, maybe supplements. I'm going to keep on eye on it, closely and see what happens with the other spot.
If anyone else out there knows about what could cause this, please let me know.

Is there any other corals or anemones near it.Could be getting stung by something. I dont think its any kind of supplements.

No, nothing near it, it actually sits in a "canyon" area of my tank so nothing around.

Gotta agree. I cant imagine a supplement burning a hole like that thru a leather unless your adding something very unusual. Id still guess something is eating it.
