I have 180 gallon Peaceful community but I put a red pot blenny in there 2.5 moths ago, and the blenny is a terrorist. He use to pick on the one spot Foxface, but recently, he started to pick on my cowfish. The blenny swims up quickly and bites the underside of the cowfish. When I stick my hand in the tank, the blenny bites me – it hurts. I don’t want my cowfish to nuke the tank and I noticed the cowfish is staying in the back corners of the tank now, instead of hid normal front and center spot. The blenny is super Duper fast. I have lots of rock, fish and coral. What is the best way to catch it?

Part two – should I remove it completely or throw it in the sump for a couple of weeks?

Try buying a barnacle off of amazon. Blennies love these! Ive always been able to just move the whole barnacle with the blenny inside when I needed to! Not super conventional but has worked for me
