Perhaps you have a well disguised nudibranch in your tank. They can often look exactly like their prey so when you look at the GSPs all you see are "GSPs". Just a thought... You could also have a hitchhiker crab hiding in one of you live rocks that may be responsible.

Yep, I agree with Melindy (did I type it right?). I had a hitch hiker crab before. It damaged alot of my GSP's too.

I thought about hitchikers too...but...it's been about 6 months since I added anything...except water...last thing added was some pulsing xenias...
Could a hitchiker stay dormant for 6 months?
Crabs are good for eating only :) IMO :)
