bicolor blenny
Does anyone have a bicolor blenny in their reef tank? I am wondering if you like them and if it digs up alot of sand that would effect my corals?

If you get one those he will chase any other blennies you may
want in the future, you may want to put it in last. I personally hate mine! so think about it B4 you add |

Love mine simply for the way he swims and looks around. Never seen mine eating anything off the bottom except pellets that fall.

Lots of +1 -1 responses here. Put me in the neg column. I have one, he's big and has an attitude. Impossible to catch. Chased a goby out (who somehow made it to the sump and lives happily in there). Picked on 2 clams, killed them both. In general an all around bully. Wife doesn't care for the eel-like appearance either.
If I ever catch him he'll either be sent to the sump, or traded in on somebody with a little less attitude. No problems with sand (although I'm mostly BB with only a dusting for look). He hangs out in the rockwork. |

Wow seems like someone either loves them or hate them! I still can't make up my mind.

I've heard, on frequent occasion, that they will pester various corals. I believe Hop was recently complaining about one irritated montipora species, but you'll have to get confirmation from him.
