Hi. My bicolor blenny has been attacking the center of my rainbow platy, consuming all the color in the middle of it. Is this normal? Will it kill the coral? Any advice?

Maze brain? Darn.

That genus of blennies has been known to sometimes nip at SPS. I hadn't had trouble with LPS.

Kill it? Maybe. Depends on the damage. You might try feeding the blenny more and moving the new frag. It likely won't help though.
