Hi everyone,
I just noticed that my (almost) month-old flame tail blenny is nipping at my corals, more specifically my acan frag and hamrch (hammer + tortch). When I first noticed that he was nipping at corals, he would nip at the hamrch only when food was present (I assumed that he might have mistaken it for the brine shrimp), but now today, I caught him making my acans unhappy by periodically nipping them. I did a little bit of research and what I learned is that some fish will start to nip at corals when there aren't enough algae/veggies in their diet. So to my question, which brand of algae stips are best? Or what is the best way to get algae into his diet?
