Help BiColor Blenny Attacking Brain Coral
For the past 4 days my open brain has been declining I immediately thought one of parameters was off but everything checked out so the other day as I was leaving for work I caught my bi color going up to the brain and peck at it as if it was eating algae. Today was the second day in a row I saw him go at the coral now its not opening at all.I placed a cage of egg crate on it tonight but the blenny actually got through. What can I do? I cant seem to catch the blenny. Will the brain heal if I can secure it or is it to far gone?

Do you have one of those 'strawberry baskets'? put that over the Brain to shield it from the fish in a week or so (healing time) the fish may forget about it

I just had my bicolor blenny attacking my clams. I thought my water was off too unroll I saw the blenny. I also had a brain just like yours that wouldn't open know it is. Becouse I got rid of the blenny:.) I put some nori on a clip at the top of the tank and let the fish eat from it for a day then the blenny started to eat from it and I was waiting on him with a net. It worked for me. Good luck
