Hi Susan,
It could be anything .
I assume your parameters are ok ? What are they?
How long has it been in your tank , Have you introduced any new corals?
it could it be Montipora Coral-eating Nudibranch
Might be worth looking into a dip for it?

Montipora be careful where you establish this. In my tank I wish mine would die as its traveling and consuming everything in its path and I have no clue on how to stop it.... So dont be too sad if it passes....

I doubt that the crab was the issue. could it of been something as some silt sitting on your Monti?

no the white spot is growing and as for the crab, I have pulled out half my tank to try and get it with no luck, he is big and hairy, and keeps knocking over the corals
