Some fish are safer than others in a reef but has anyone ever seen a fish change its tune. I know someone who had a lemonpeel angel which he moved on as it was nipping his corals. When it was moved and with a change of scenery, the fish was a model citizen even with the same array of corals.
I guess its similar to when you take an aggressive fish out and reintroduce later so they aren't familiar with the surroundings.
The fish in question is a molly miller which a friend had and removed as it was nipping at his clams mantles. I've had it in my qt for a couple of months now but want to qt some new fish so have thought of adding it to my reef as its a great character fish and there are no other herbivores in there. I do have a clam though, so was thinking if the fish was added after the clam i might have more luck. It was the addition of the clams which caused the problem before and it wasn't seen to be the blenny very quickly. These were also clams on the rockwork which were close to where the blenny hung out whereas the derasa is in the same bed in the open.
So definitely keep it out, take a risk or other.
TIA
