The nuisance question answers that. 66% of the time yes.
Let me start a bit lower:
Order -- Perciformes
(Sub-Order) -- Blenniodei
Family -- Blenniidae (also Chaenopsidae, Clinidae, Dactyloscopidae, et al)
Genus -- Ecsenius (also Ophioblennius, Salaria, Salarias, et al)
Species -- bicolor, bimaculatus, lineatus, midas, et al
All of the above have the higher taxonomical descriptions, as follows:
Kingdom -- Animalia
Phylum -- Chordata
Class -- Actinopterygii
So, that's really complicated and even more confused by the changes to taxonomy that israelnajar refers to, namely Life and Domain. Some of these names change yearly, when the relevant "experts" conference and re-describe based on more recent research and consensus.
Us common folk get no say.....

Well, it could be parasitical to fish.
If it's parasitical to corals only 66% of the time, that means that one in three found it to -not- be a nuisance on corals.... I am confused. If it's a coral parasite, nuisance is relative.
So, does it have another host other than coral?

Is it a parasite that would eat a coral? Like pyramid snails and tridancids clams. (I know neither are corals)

The posts I have seen on RC they have killed and consumed corals. I don't think that would be considered a parasite. So I am unsure how to answer.
In my tank and others that I have seen they have consumed a colony of zoas but not the colony next to them. I am unsure as to what it would host in the wild. But in our tanks they are generally not a parasite.
Again I dont know how to answer with a yes or no on this one.

In Malaysia they are called blue sand.

You guys are going to scare everyone away.. LOL.
Agreed. I'm willing to let things run their course for now, as this game is open to everyone whatever their level of expertise. But eventually this needs to get back to being newbie friendly. You are of course free to create a mirror thread in the other forums, if they like. Otherwise, I'm gonna take control and start asking really easy questions.
Could someone post a reminder of what we know so far? TYVM.
