I bought a Linear blenny and its been nipping at my SPS. To be exact, he nipped a tiny bit of my Tyree Blue chalice(doesn't touch it at all anymore), started to nip my Miami Orchid, and he nipped my Purple Tip acro so bad that 90% of its skeleton is showing. It hasn't touched any of my other SPS.http://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/crybaby.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/crybaby.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/saddy.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/saddy.gif How do I make him stop? His belly is a little pinched in, so I'm trying to feed him as much as possible. I have a small sea weed sheet in there and I threw in a bunch of my home made food. He is eating the home made food, but I really don't see him touching the sea weed. Someone please help! I don't want to loose my SPS.http://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/crybaby.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/crybaby.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/crybaby.gif

When I feed him and he eats quite a bit, he doesn't touch ANY coral at all. After a few hours he must have gotten hungry and that's when he starts nipping at the Miami Orchid or other sps. http://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/crybaby.gifI got him 3 days ago.

I CAUGHT THE LITTLE SUCKER!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!! http://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/party.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/party.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/party.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/party.gif To tell you the truth, I kinda feel bad for him for some reason. lol He is sitting in my 8 gallon nonphoto bio cube for now. Maybe I should give him one more chance in the 8 gall biocube? lol There isn't much rock in there any ways. About 4 lb or so. So, it will be super easy to catch him out. What do you all think? Should I give him one more chance or trade him in for a different fish?

*note* He was only picking at some of the SPS, he didn't even notice the softies, leathers, and LPS.

It's a case of "what do you like more" - your blenny or your corals:)

Well, I just gave back the Linear blenny and got a Shrimpgoby - Bumble Bee, and a Yellow Coris Wrasse.http://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/bigg.gifhttp://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/images/smilies/party.gif
