What is the size of the fish involved? How bad is the damage? Yes, tails will generally grow back, if the damage isn't too bad. Usually, a GSM can stand up for itself, but harrassment to a firefish can often result in death.

I had this happen to my maroon. I never knew who did it, but it wasn't surprising as she never made any friends in the tank . I always thought it was the teeny Valentini puffer sneaking up on her in her sleep :lol: Like Kevin said, the firefish is a concern. You might try rearranging the rock or something. Maybe in such a way as to encourage the firefish and blenny to occupy opposite sides of the tank (good luck).
