Is there something eating my SPS coral at night? (Pic Attached)

I have a 90 gallon SPS Dominant tank and I have some corals that have poor polyp extension during the day and during the night and today I woke up and found my Bellina Acro looking like this. Notice on one of the tips that the tissue is missing. (Left hand side).

Start doing some night time observations of your tank using a small flashlight with red lens cover if you can. Doing this I found out I had a Eunicid worm which I suspect was doing the same thing to some of my sps. Entire branches would lose all tissue over night.

Good luck with the hunting
