I have a sailfin blenny and it will only eat sps corals I am trying to get it to eat mysis or brine. Any ideas of what to try beside selcon or garllic during feeding. There are other hobbyist that have the same sailfin blenny but they have them in a sps coral only tank and the sailfin eats a little bit os the coral but in a good quality of water the corals always bounce back. I will include a pic. Thanks

I had a identical looking belnny sold to me, it would ony eat my prized lps corals no matter what I tried. Leopard blenny is my call, book says frozen preperations for herbivores, mysid, vitamin enriched brine shrimp. usually will not eat in captivity. If it does,feed 3 times a day. will feed on sps.... To catch it I had to set up a egg crate trap with its fav lps (symphyllia or open brain)that it had been chewing on . Good luck
 
Thanks for the help I have had this sailfin for about 7 month she is awesome. I have just been feeding the clearance coral I pick up at the lfs and frag from my other tanks. But thanks for the info and help.
 
It is hit or miss.. some specimens may eat the corals, some may not. The reality is that you will not likely change its diet.
