Are my Blennies the only one that do this?

Where's The Reef?
Hey there, Hi there, Ho there,

Blenny's have always been my Favorite small fish, because of there awesome personalities, I always make sure in all the Dominance of feeding time that they managed to get full.I have had several Blennies go south on me and start picking at my SPS!I had a Lawn Mower Blenny do it, A Linear Blenny(baraly ever picked...but still), and now my tail spot Blenny is starting to pick at my Tubinaria Reniformis.I'm beginning to see a pattern developing...

How do your blenny's do with your corals?SPS in particular.
 
I think it's all of them. Mine is always the fattest one. They are my favorite fish as well, I always put an algae magnet in the middle of the front glass panel so my blenny can sit on it for hours and watch his kingdom:)
 
Yep, my Tail Spot Blenny does that, like he is the sherrif of the town, making sure everything is ship shape!
 
They are hilarious. Every time he does his texas ranger thing on the magnet and I am walking by, he is looking at me like he wanted to say: "See, I'm the LAW here!"
 
My tailspot is a model citizen. He is not the boss of the tank. A BT tang keeps him half-in one of his three or four caves most of the time. He only leaves these spots to nip at the rocks or back glass for algae. Two years now and never bothered my SPS's.

I'm going to have to try this out.
 
My tailspot doesn't pick at corals either, but he will headbutt my hermit & snails if he thinks they're too close to his many houses lol. They do like to sit on the mag floats, this week he started curling around to watch me work.

I feed formula 2 flakes when I get in so he eats plenty & that usually wakes up the goby for breakfast before I throw in a little piece of frozen for everyone to share.
 
I have had a starry blenny and a lawnmower that were model citizens but last Sunday I had to return a yellow tail sailfin for eating my montiporas. The only coral he touched were the montis. No more blennys even if they have the best personality.
 
Mine has Slowed down on the SPS, I haven't seen it pick at them in a while.Hopefully this keeps going!
