Has anyone had an issue with this genus of blenny (starry, lawnmower) picking at or eat any kind of coral or clams?

I'm moving away from Escenius entirely here as most, if not all have the potential to nip corals. Both my bicolor and tailspot ate SPS for breakfast.

Just trying to hear from others what personal experiences you have with this.

I'd also like to know how efficient are they are removing algae like hair algae or turf algae.

Thanks!

My starry blenny never bothered any corals
