    Default Guess who's cute and likes to eat SPS

    This guy!!!



    This is a tribal blenny. He is very cute and has a wonderful personality. Unfortunately, he also has an expensive appetite.

    As I watched him mill about the tank the day after I got him, to my horror, he'd stop at almost every sps frag and take a bite off a branch. I tried scolding him, pointing my finger at him in a menacing manner, and even reasoning with him. Nothing worked.

    After two days in the tank, I noticed bare spots on almost every acro. I tore the tank apart and spent two hours chasing him with a net. He now resides in my wife's tank.

    Beware of these little blennies if you keep a tank with acropora.

    HAHA.... Mental pictures are great! I can see both of you standing by the tank shaking your fingers.

    Thanks for the warning. I will cross this blenny off my short list for the new tank.

    Just google tribal blenny and sps. I'm not the only one who's had problems with them. I'm watching him right now in our office tank. It would be a super awesome addition to just about any tank that doesn't have sps.

    It was really funny because my 4 year old was watching me scold the little guy as I was watched him take bite after bite of my green milli. Eli went and grabbed his little step stool and pulled it up to the tank and started pointing at the blenny and saying "No, no, no!!! Bad fish!!!".

    I think you are making this up. Look at his big innocent eyes! Plus what's cuter: the blenny or the acro?
