Fang blenny and grouper

[brad]

Has anyone tried to keep a fang blenny with a grouper big enough to eat it? This could work out well if the grouper instinctively avoids the blenny, or learns the hard way with no damage done. It could also work out very badly, with the grouper being killed by the blenny, or blenny being lunch anyway.

Don't groupers get massive. I have caught 50lb grouper and seen in person someone catch a 600lb grouper

This is a miniatus, technically a hind and not a grouper, 6 inches now, they can get to 16.

That's free food for the grouper but in the wild grouper usually only eat dead injured or slow fish so be really careful and know that there is a risk

Fang blennies are venemous to bite predators, so they typically aren't eaten in the wild.
