LMB and Sun Coral

[AuntKaren]

I've been reading the posting about the choice between crabs and an LMB. That made me wonder if an LMB would be good for my tank if I put the sun coral in. The sun coral has a nice crop of long green algae from when it was being nursed back to health and was purposely overfed. Well the coral is doing wonderfully but where it had retracted the algae took the opportunity to move in! Would it be safe to put in the LMB and would he eat the green algae and not harm the coral?

LMB (which took me about 10 minutes to figure out) will be fine with your tubastrea.

LMB seem to be pretty safe all the way around. The worst thing he will probably do is lay the the coral for a few seconds to munch on the HA. Mine seems to like lay on my green star polyps.

LMB = lawn mower blenny ?? if so ... he should be fine. we have one in our 55 softy tank with 2 sun corals ... no problems. he munchs the algae but harms NO corals.
