Hello All,
I woke up last weekend with my Diamond Goby out of the tank (still don't know how he got out with the cover on the top.) At any rate, I went to my LFS to look for a new Diamond Goby, or some other fish that can do a good job of turning over the sand bed. Talking to the sales associate, he convinced me to try a Lawnmower Blenny. I've decided it was a poor choice as Lawnmower Blennie's are good at eating algae - but do not turn over a sand bed. (I blame myself for not doing appropriate research before purchasing.) One question I have though is that there are many articles that state that Lawnmower Blenny's are not reef safe - in that they eat coral. Does anybody have any experience with Lawnmower Blenny's and compatibility with coral?
I was thinking of just keeping the fish - he is a fun looking fish. Then go out and stick to the original plan of getting a Diamond Goby to help with the sand bed. However, if they do eat coral, I think it's best I remove the Lawnmower Blenny.
Thanks!
