Horned Blenny

[adromero]

Will a horned blenny eat SPS? If so, are there any peaceful blennies that eat algae?

I've never had one, but from what I understand horned blennies tend to graze on SPS. Lawn mower blennies will graze on algae, but tend to leave the GHA alone if it is too long and tough. Also, while they are considered peaceful, they can occasionally get pretty territorial. Really cool fish though.

I had one of these awhile back, kind of difficult to feed, was clumsy about eating out of the water column but nori doesn't move around at least. It did nip at random corals but I think most blennies do.

I had a captive bred court jester goby that ate algae off the rocks and sand. Did not bother corals and ate pellets since it was captive. It is a tiny fish so don't expect it to fix a neglected tank or major algae problem.

Yes I had one in a Pico tank with a tailspot blenny. I may try it again. I have no algae issues , but like fish that serve a purpose.
