Well that is a type of coral. Bi-color blennys are not reef safe.

read this . I've been there, they are a great fish, but there are plenty of people that have had them eat corals. You may get lucky, but you should know they can and do eat corals, nip clams, and pick on other fish.

It seems that every fish or any thing w/ saltwater fish there are always exceptions to every thing. Most say they are reef safe and are peaceful community fish and others say they are not reef safe. Ug i have not added corals yet but i will watch and maybe we can find out the truth of the beautiful and myserious (sp) bi color blenny lol :mrgreen:

They like to eat microfauna. Found in established tanks with live rock.

[spookeyfish]

thanks for the info :mrgreen:
