First time I saw it, I guessed he died or left its place, but after see it
carefully I saw that the TUBE (which only 1.5cm length on the coral's

I dont find its crown near the place.

Please note that this tank has no fish. Other mobile creature is a Lysmata
debellius (blood shrimp) and AFAIK 3 un-id crabs: 4cm, 2cm, and 1cm (the
hairy one), and of course this ghost which produce the snapping/popping
sound.

Please tell me how?
