Is BiColor Blenny SPS safe ?

[minsmarine]

I got this guy ( Bicolor Blenny ) 2 weeks ago and since than all most all of my SPS tips not come out at day time at all.

So I sit down and watch the whole day and found out that this little fellow, will swin from his cave to SPS and nip at the SPS's tip. So SPS tips hide back.

Tried to catch him unsuccessful.

Has any1 encounter b4 ?

What should I do

[RAV-65]

Give your SPS to me?!

Juz kidding... so far from wat I understand, they should be reef-safe right? can someone confirm?

[Tanzy]

Bicolour? Absolutely SPS safe.

[A320]

yeah...no problems with bicolour blenny.

[DeepBlue]

have bicolor in my mixed reef for more than 8 months....no prob at all

If you post this at RC, you would get mixed results. Some people have luck with this fish but some will tell you they eat sps for breakfast. Unfortunately, i believe yours fall into the later category.

[DeepBlue]

agree. think Danano had some bad exp with the blenny sps

[minsmarine]

Yea I agree I am in bad luck with SPS geez.

This guy really bad, keep nipping.

Anyway to catch him.

I rather lose him than my SPS.

I need HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ;(

Tried to catch him yesterday night till 3 AM in the morning, not successful.

He live in the cave that's bottom part of rock seem like I need to move the rock to catch him.

For sure, this guys is not SPS safe. I turn otherside my frag yesterday and to my shock, the whole side of SPS gone........

Any1 want to adpot him after I catch with those SPS

Bro, i dont know if your Blenny's cave is near to the sps or not, but if it is very near to it, that could be the reason, this guy likes to have a clean surrounding where it lives, it will nip and clear algae + anything around him.

If you want it out, you can try to put empty coco worm tube (skeleton) into the tank, this guy likes to live in there, see it go in , quickly cover the entrance and he is at yr mercy....

SPS near to his cave ? Haa do u think about 1' away in 3' tank is consider near

Bad thing is that some of SPS colony he didn't distrub at all. Like green color, brown color, the rest heee like he is having potato chip. Now and than he goes and nip nip nip , and my heart pain pain pain.

He is cute and SPS is expensive.

So got no choice , to let him go, do u think I can keep him in refug ? 1x1x1.5'. With alge and some rock

[Jimng]

1' -Ha, this little guy is nap him......

btw -he likes diatom algae on the glass....

[minsmarine]

He seems to like everything, except flake and brain shrimp.
