Some years ago we purchased two painted fish in Bali which sat on the bathroom vanity at home.
About two years later I noticed sawdust under one of them. Sure enough there was a small hole in the base and a grub emerging causing the sawdust. It hadn't eaten the timber as it did not have a hollow sound.
The other fish was OK however both were tied in plastic bags and disposed of.
