Bi-color blenny

[microwave]

Anyone ever have one of these in their tank? I've had one for several months now, and am beginning to think that he may be nipping on long polyp corals i.e. millepora. My acro's seem fine, and have PE, although very small, but my millepora have zero PE day or night, and recently had my pink lemonade RTN on me.

Could he be nipping, or could something else be the culprit?

I have one... he's well behaved. He only eats algae and flake food.

Not likely, but never say impossible, tend to be decent algae eaters but no comparison to their cousins the Lawnmower blenny?

bicolor blenny will nip at colors and clams. ive seen both well behaved and super aggressive blennys nip at corals.

Interesting. Ill have to figure out how to get him out of the tank temporarily so I can see if any of the corals show signs of repair.

Everything else as far as flow and parameters seems spot on. I really hope it's not him, as he's one of my favorite inhabitants.
