Lawnmower blenny with SPS

[josee1013]

I want your experiences with Lawnmower in a SPS tank. Good, bad?

 

[stanlalee]

mine doesn't touch anything. Of the larger algae blennies I think they are one of the less riskier species. Have clam too.

 

[Michael7979]

Never had a problem with mine.

 

[thebradybunch]

My lawnmower has never touched my SPS.

 

[Cozmo4]

No problem with mine either - have SPS, clams, LPS and zoas.

 

[reef_doug]

No problem with SPS, ZOAs or softies. Don't have clam.

 

[MechEng99]

Mine was fine...but my bi-color blenny was a nightmare.

 

[Bigmike]

Ive never heard of lawnmowers being a problem for anyone... ?

I've heard they weren't reef safe so I stayed away from them altho I wanted one.. Maybe I'll try one

My thankfully departed lawnmower via a nasty pump accident nuked SPS frags by pulling on them to clean algae and ended up with them out of the racks and touching one another thereby killing the frags. I usually don't look forward to a fish's demise, but I was not too upset when he got "his". If it's epoxied down or too big for them to move they're probably fine.

I have had a few over the years with no problems. I prefer the starry blenny though as they will eat algae but also other foods. That way they don't starve after you get the algae under control like a lawnmower will.

Our LM blenny is a perfect tank addition. I have never had a problem with it. Allthough it likes to come to the front dead center of the tank. And do a little dance and crap for every one to see. :frog:

LM blenny is completely reef safe, in my experience. My kids call ours the algae bunny. Very cute.

Mine looks like Andy Rooney, with the eyebrows and all. I call him Andy.
