Great thanks I will move it and give that a try.

So I took this coral out of my tank and dipped it....and a little crab came out of it one claw bigger than the other. would that maybe be why this coral is doing what it is doing. cause this little bastard crab was chewing on it What do you guys think or would it not hurt my coral?

It is pretty much reef safe and actually helping your coral according to where you took the picture from.
