i noticed my bicolor grazing on acros,and theres white blotches on all of them,could he be doing it?

I have heard that bi color blennys are nippers, and can cause this sort of damage, no personal experiance though. Look for AEFW too.

I'd say so, they are known for eating sps's.

Yep, i had one that nipped at my cap and acro. I started seeing the white blotches, I removed it and the white blotches went healed up.

They are one of the first few fish I sent back to LFS.

Get yourself the hawaiin algae blenny. They look like the bi-color blenny only they get larger and are all one solid color, dark black.

I have one and he never bothers my acros or anything else, he loves to nip on the live rock for algae and thats it.

My LFS keeps a large one in his 300 gallon SPS tank; that's where I first saw one and wanted one for my tank.

I just had a thread in the SPS forum about this a week ago. I was upset and thought I had Acro eating flatworms but thank God it was the Bi-color Blenny. They are easy to take out of your tank as all you have to do is pull out the rock they are hiding in. Took me 2 min to get him out. Corals are going to be fine. Good luck. Michael R

Unfortunatly mine was hiding in a big support rock causing me to pretty much tear down the hole tank. Not like it was much to tear down.
