    How do I stop my blenny from killing this coral?

    I have this coral and this bi-color blenny that seems to love perching on my corals and I have even seen him picking at it as if he’s trying to eat it.

    Can you assess the body condition of this scooter blenny

    A client of mine added a scooter blenny to his 30 gal cube. I’m pretty sure it has run out of pods now and the fish is in decline. I only see the tank once a month. But I’m not really sure how urgent it is or how to assess the body condition of the fish. Can anyone tell me if it’s healthy? It’s...

    Midas blenny vs canary blenny

    Can someone please tell me the difference between the midas and canary blenny? Also, which one is more active and is always out? And which one is the most peaceful (with inverts as well)? I've also read somewhere that the midas blenny's bite is venomous, is this true?

    Puffer and blenny?

    Looking to put a very small Toby puffer (leopard or Valentini) in a 20 gallon. Only for a year and then will be moving and upgrading. Would it be possible to get a blenny as well? I hear mixed reviews on Blennies in 20 gallons, I know 30 is usually the minimum recommendation. Thanks!

    “Rehoming” a blenny?

    So I recently got a bicolor blenny, and in the future I would like to set up an empty cocoworm tube in the front of the tank for the blenny to stay, but he currently has his little home in a hole in my rock, any suggestions for getting him to switch hidey holes from my rock to the tube? Thanks
