Blenny eating Zoas?

[Sheldon337]

Hi all,

I have been noticing my green zoos disappearing. Yesterday I caught my bicolor blenny eating them (or at least it appeared so). He kept going back and would actually remove chunks of them. I immediately fed him more than normal and put in some spirulina.

Has anyone heard of this before? Any advice?

They are my favorite zoos. All other zoas are doing fine.

It's not unheard of, especially with Ecsenius blennies. They'll also sometimes peck at clams. Best bet is to feed it nori/wakame/live macroalgae.

Would it eat Chaeto?

Eh, not sure. Def worth a try. Their natural diet is microalgae. Simply feeding it more would probably work too.
