Bi-Color Blenny Eating SPS

[mcvicker]

I picked up a bi-color blenny and at first he wasn't eating much. But he was picking at the rocks and eating algae. Well now he is taking bites out of the sps coral too! I've tried soaking mysis and ocean plankton in garlic to get him interested in something else, plus two types of flake food. But he likes the corals. It would be very hard to get this little guy out of my tank. Does anybody have any suggestions? Currently I am think of trying out a fish trap with a frag in it....

Blennies are easy to catch with traps

Bicolor blennies are notorious for nipping these types/species of corals. I would only keep them in a soft or "LPS" style system.

Catching it would be fairly easy with a trap. You can also just remove the rock it's hiding in if small enough.

Too bad, such a nice personable fish!!

How does a trap work? Does anyone have one I can borrow?
