Yellow Polyps started disappear one by one

[something'sfishy]

I have a colony of Star Polyps fo r more than two months. I noticed that one by one, the polyps are missing. Do you think my crabs are eating these. Every time I spot feed the colony, crabs were all over them. Is it because the water flow is too much? My water parameters are excellent. PLease help

Are they yellow polyps or star polyps? Two totally different things. That's why common names bite.

They are yellow polyps. The other corals are healthy. My star polyp colony is propagating and my tree coral and hammer are expaninding..what could be the reason?

I had the same problem with mine. Honestly, besides super glueing each individual polyp that falls off back onto the rock, there isnt really much you can do. I only have one polyp left on my rock and I placed it up in a medium flow.
What kind of flow is it in?

i had peppermint shrimp eat mine...i guess thought it was weed anemones

My peppermint ate mine as well and then started doing a job on my zoos. It could most definatly be a critter, I would just keep a look out after the lights go out.

I have a few Emerald Crabs but I dont think they would eat them. My other polyps are doing just fine
