What's eating my coraline?!?!

[I was sitting on my sofa yesterday and noticed that a quarter sized patch of coraline was completely gone - not bleached, but down to the rock, gone. :very angry: I got up a couple of times last night to see if I could spot a culprit, but no luck. When I woke up this morning, a dime sized patch adjacent to it was now also eaten away! :cussing:

I know that urchins like to munch on coraline, but I have yet to spot one if there is - the tank is a 29 and he wouldn't have a whole lot of hiding places unless he's pretty small.

I'm going to do some more research this afternoon, but if anyone else knows off hand what else might be munching, I'd apreciate it.

Thanks!]
