I posted a month ago about a similar thing. I had a black sail fin blenny that was fine for 3 months or so and I caught him eating one of my acros one day. Put that acro into my frag tank to save it. Next day he was onto another acro. removed that one, next day same thing. I was able to catch him and put him in the sump.

One acro lost so much tissue I decided to glue it. Its already encrusted about half way over the glue, and all three acros are recovering well, after a month or so.

No more blenny ever for me.

Sorry to hear that. I actually saw one of those when I was snorkeling in Hawaii and have been wondering what it was ever since.

If you end up deciding to flush it I'll take it off your hands.

I was just kidding about the toilet
But if you want it you can have it

All blennies can do that, but the majority don't, including Leopards. Sorry you got one of the ones that does, but don't right off all of them due to a minority case.

You are not alone. I have a clownfish that likes to graze on my mushrooms and frogspawn.

My pair of clowns used to tear tentacles off my frogspawn nearly daily.

I've noticed that my pair does this to their rose anemone. Is there a reason why they do this?
