Tribal Blenny

[ak_reefer]

Hello Everyone,

Not sure if anyone has ever kept a Tribal Blenny, but I believe mine has gone on a LPS diet. I placed him in my display tank 3 weeks ago, I was gone for 5 days and come back to my Hammer and Frogspawn completely eaten. I tested my water and will post the numbers and all was norm for my tank. I then noticed the bleeny nipping at my zoas. He has not touched my Ric or plate coral or my hydro just my LPS. Has anyone ever had a issue with this fish before?

Thanks,
Javier

That sucks man!

Normally Blennys are pretty good, is he large?

Hey Rob,

Yeah he is rather large!

The large ones do get a little nutty, but thats just not right.

Are you going to have to ripp a part your new reef to catch him?

One trick to catch him may be placing a large dead barnacle in your tank wait for him to home it and then pull the barnacle out. I do have some here.

I will have to take it all apart to get him but I will try that trick. I would have not ever figured it was him until my girlfriend said she was watching him do it and then I saw him do it myself.

Hes a cool looking fish and is very active but I cant have him eating all my zoas now.
