To blenny or not to blenny?

[Kristy]

I don't want to put him in the 125 to realize it's a tiny satan spawn and have to spend half a day trying to fish him out.

Ha... love your description! We have had some serious problems with one flame tail blenny that we have in our 210g named "Osama" because he is a terrorist who bites my hand frequently, hides in a cave and I cannot get to him. He is definitely a "tiny satan spawn" and has eaten a clam as well as some LPS! (Thanks again, Erik! )

However, don't give all blennies a bad name. Our tailspot blenny is as sweet as can be and has never been a problem. We also had a great experience with a lawnmower blenny, so I would say it pays to do your homework on the blennies and just be careful about what type you are getting. I have since heard lots of horror stories about flame tail blennies so I know they are best to be avoided. No idea about the Tribal Blenny, but I would have expected it to be similar to our tailspot. Guess not!
