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?

Get rid of the Blenny, the Brain will recover.

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
