Sad day for Blennywinks...

[Ducagoose]

So today I had remove my loveable bi-color blenny, Blennywinks. Wife calls him "skip", says it's because the way he skips around the rocks. I think it's because he skips the food he should eat for my SPS... He's in a time out tank until I find a better home. He's grown a liking to eating my acros as of late. Caught him eating my new pc rainbow and myagi tort. I've had to move a Monti Digi before he wouldn't leave alone also. I love him and his personality, but those are expensive meals. He's gotten a taste for the finer things I guess, maybe showing off for his fishtagram followers? No questions just a little venting.

Yeah, watched him do it multiple times. I moved some frags up into "his hood", came back part about an hour later and there's some missing tissue, moved it back down thinking maybe flow to strong there, watch him swim around tank find it and bite it again, I moved it across my 90 to the far side, rival fish tominis hood, watched him stealth his way over to that side and continue to bite that same coral. Moved it out of that tank temp. Came back he's eating the tort, maybe he didn't appreciate the karate kid? There's algae to graze on, nori, and decent feeding schedule. He's done it before months ago and killed a Digi, I suspected he's broken pieces off of my tnt anacro eating it, they're brittle, I have about 4 frags now. I'll find him a good home, I have friends without SPS, of course I don't have any softies and few lps so idk if just likes SPS, or maybe he just doesn't like me?
