Yup, at first he was a little creeper about it, just bugging my digitata when I wasnt looking (I was wondering why the polyps were all recessed one day). Then the next day I saw him swim over and take a big chomp at it. So I moved the digitata to the sandbed further away.

Next day I see a green acro frag on a plug RTNing on one side, totally white. Once again, I see the little bugger slowly make his way over there, and *CHOMP CHOMP!* right at the white area.

I also caught him taking a few bites at a Christmas Coral, and that's started to recede a bit as well :S

I saw him take a peck at a mille frag, but I guess it was too fuzzy for his liking, and I havent seen him bug it since.

I plan on getting more SPS, so unfortunately he has to go ;(

He's cute, but he's a bit of a menace! >___<

Yeah I had a lawnmower blenny before and he didnt bug my SPS. He was great at chomping at algae on the glass (used to see his bite marks on the glass all the time, looked like a pair of fat lips!). So maybe I'll get one of those instead...

My Lawnmower blenny in my 34g looks like he is picking at everything but all good, no coral damage at all.
