Algae Blenny

[Paphagar]

Hello all I have heard lots of stories about algae blennys nipping at corals, I've got a decent amount of sps in my tank and was wondering how many of you have had an issue with them.
Thanks

Also I have a firefish goby, do you think a blenny would bother him?

I never had a problem with mine.
They'll nip algae off clam shells and scare the clam sometimes.But,that was about it.

Thanks for the response, all my sps are about 1 day old i my tank so don't want them to get munched on day2

Maybe you should wait till the tank gets a little more established.Or at the very least the SPS has a chance to anchor to the rock.
LM blennies can disruft frags when they're searching for algae.

basically i have chalices, they're glued to discs but not a bad plan

Chalice = lps
