    It is self fragging.They reproduce by dropping a limb,the "bite marks" you see is where it is seperating from the mother colony.Sometimes it will continue tearing until a frag limb falls off and sometimes it will change it's mind and heal back up,either way,it's normal,no worries.

    PS-thats a nice sized one,looks alot like my largest one.lol

    Thats good news. Thanks. I thought something might be killing it. Yeah it's pretty big. It seems to like its location.

    Thanks again,
    Tony
