Any advise on a klausewitz blennie?

[Scoted]

Does anyone have one or past experience with one in a lps softy tank?

I don't think the small leather is happy with being bothered by his choice of caves!

They'll pick at anything that stays in one place and moves, such as macroalgae, pods, anemones, softies, lps, etc. Otherwise a good fish, hardy and peaceful.

That response has me slightly concerned.

In my experience they can be aggressive once settled in.

I just watched him fling a blue leg hermit crab off his favorite rock.

I had one for about a year in my tank. Lost him during a crash. I thought he was a great little fish and have been searching to replace him.

I never saw him doing anything bad, and never noticed any damage. I kept him with bicolor, tailspot, lawnmower, Barnacle and red spot blennies without any problems.

It's a fish with a great little personality that stood out in a tank with 100+ fish.

To my dismay I witnessed him feeding on a Montipora frag today. He was a very cool fish. I have been keeping an eye on him since my zoas and the small leather frag seemed unhappy. He wasn't eating pellets or flake food but he would eat off the rocks and actively feed on red and green algae strips. I'm not sure if the Monti will recover.
This was my first experience at breaking down a tank to catch a fish. All but a few pieces of rock had to be removed to snag him. He now is banished to my sump while i decide if i will keep him there or return him to the LFS.
