Lobo has a hole! advice please?
 My purple lobophytum has developed a nasty hole. It is a bit of a confusing photo but that lobe below the whitish section is halfway disconnected. What are your thoughts? Should I do surgery or let it run its course or something else?

Did the hole happen over a few days or just suddenly appear?

I've found lobophytums to be as tough as nails.
It looks like somebody took a bite out of it. My foxface would sometimes do that. What kind of fish do you have in there? When you say it's developed a nasty hole - that section that's exposed isn't hollow, is it? Mitch

It is self fragging. My devils claw does it on a regular basis...baby devils all over my tank now!!! You can cut it off or let it finish, either way has been fine for mine.
