I have an Orange Tree Sponge coral (looks like a cactus) in the reef and the
Blenny never goes near it. He swims mid water with the tangs, clowns, and
chromies and eats flake and loves nori, pellets, and of course brine. He
even snatched a piece of silver side that I feed to my Anemone.

Funny how each animal has different behaviours. I guess that's part of the
lure of this hobby.

BTW Marc, love your tanks and thanks for the website. The 411 there has
helped me on several ocassions. Appreciate you taking the time to share.

I was kind of kidding, but why not...

The first one I bought lived for about a week, and vanished. I never saw
anything that indicated that it even died. My tank at that time had quite
a bit of algae, so I was quite surprised to lose it. It never did turn up
whatsoever. Maybe my dog ate it. LOL

The second one is still with me to this day. It came with my 280g reef.
It was in a tank with all kinds of livestock and even an eel, and even
with the tank being negleted for months, the fish was happy and healthy.

It has been with me for about 10 or 11 months now, and perches everywhere
in my tank. I've watched it perch on top of a mandarin repeatedly, so
that the fish just had to wait for it to swim away. My Powder Blue Tang
loves to chase it across the tank.

It eats nori, and any other food I drop in the tank. And it also will eat
sponge (I bought a gorgeous orange tree sponge, but it didn't last more
than a couple of months) and will take bites on rocks, corals, and the
glass.

For a couple of weeks I didn't clean the glass of my tank, and you could
see his lip marks all over the place. It was kind of funny. Since I
cleaned the glass again, he's moved on to the back wall of the tank.
