Seeing it's a montipora, the first suspect would be Monti eating nudi's. Have a look for tiny white thingies on it, less than 1mm in size.
If your cam has a macro facility, take a close shot of the "eaten part"
Ivan, how big are they will I be able to see them? are they out all the time or just at night? The only thing new that has gone into the tank are the frags that I got from you.
Just an update. My two rather large Hermits moved to the Coral and grazed around it Since midday yesterday and were there the whole night and this morning. I checked a couple of times during the night but saw now bugs or crabs. There has also been no deteriation of the coral thus far. I do not know if the hermits had something to do with that though.
Thats what made me think of a branch of another sps that had fallen over and got wedged between the digi branches. The damage can take some time to show. I would not be worried though, if that is the case. They recover lost skeleton very quickly.
