I have a bicolor Blenny and he is eating my lps and has ate a couple zoa polyps. What should I do with him to have him stop eating corals.
 
This is an unfortunate risk you take with Bicolor blennies. They are not 100% reef safe. I would try to keep him full and feed heavier in the hopes he gets distracted, but once they get a taste it's hard to stop them. I had one mow down several favia to the skeleton. He ended up in my refugium where he seemed content as he had a hidey hole and some rock.
