Bicolor blenny

[usb540]

Need help please!
My blenny is picking the red flesh from my brain(same one in avatar). Only the bright red areas. I feed once a day at night. Both omega one veggies flake and Omega one marine pellets. I throw cyclop-eeze into the mix about twice a week. Should I up feeding to twice a day? If experience from you guys/gals show that nothing helps, then I will get him out of the tank immediately. Thanks

My Bicolored Blenny use to nip on my coral until I started to feed them twice a day. In the morning flakes & afternoon pemysis. I hope it helps you out!

I had one that I just had to get out of the tank as everything I did it didn't stop nipping at corals that were put in it's area and were encroaching her turf. Everything was fine for about a year and a half and then she developed taste for a green bali slimer and an oregon tort.

I got her out of her cave with the ole lobster ticket stick method. She dove into the rocks.. I put a pair of tweezers down into her hole, put a net over the exit, did a little tickle in the rear of her and she jumped right out into the net.

I hope upping the feedings lets you keep this fish. I loved mine and called her BB Queen. In an SPS dominate tank though she had to go.

i have a bicolor and have never had him nip at corals. i do feed throughout the day though, a little bit here and there. there natural instinct is to eat, so make sure they are fed at least 2-3 times a day, larger feeds. 4-5 times a day smaller doses

Thanks for the advise. Sat by all day today watching him. Every time he went towards the brain, he would turn and look at me (like a child who knows he is not suppose to do something). He does seem to be always on the hunt for food. He's a little piggy. Eats anything I throw at him. I will up my feedings and see if that cures the urge.

Alright so I fed my blenny 3 times yesterday. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fed again this morning. He is still picking at my brain. I'm not going to get rid of my brain so do you think the fish needs to go? Or do I just need to give it more time? Though I'm not sure how much longer the brain will take it. It's looking pretty bad now.
