Acro eaten by crab...PIC

[Mikef1]

Well last week I posted about a strange brown looking crab I saw picking at my green acro. Well this is apparently the damage he did unless I have some sort of another problem. I got the crab off and stuck him in my fuge last week but as you can see the coral still is losing some tissue on certain spots. Could this be another problem? Unfortunately I am going out of town in the morning for five days so won’t be able to do much to help the problem. Do you think this tissue will recover? All params are good and other colonies are doing great. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

IMO if your paramters are in check it should recover just fine.

Are you certain the crab wasn't eating dead tissue. Acro crabs take care of the host coral in many ways, and ridding them of dead tissue is one.

Yeah Im sure it wasnt just eating dead tissue. This crab wasnt an acro crab and appeared to be picking at healthy tissue.

you can superglue the eaten parts to keep more from rotting away...

Unfortunately I am out of town for 5 days so the tank is on "AUTOMATIC" everything. So I guess what happens just happens with that acro. Hopefully tissue will recover.
