I have had a red/yellow coco worm in my 40 gallon reef tank for a year or so. I just came home from being out of town for a week to find that something has been picking at it. I'm not talking about losing a head, I mean the feathery parts have been nibbled on to the point that only a 1/4" or 1/2" is left on both heads.
I recently added a flametail blenny to the tank which lives in an empty coco worm shell which came with it from the store. I can't find much information on this type of blenny online, but it looks like a bicolor blenny, except only the back part of the fins are yellow, not its actual body. Also in the tank are a pair of clowns, a six line wrasse, and a single green chromis. Aside from fish, the tank has a radiata urchin.
It seems pretty obvious that the blenny has to be the culprit since it is the only new inhabitant (added about 2 weeks ago, and this has happened within the past week), but I wanted to see if anybody has had any similar experience with this.
