I didn't know what these were called until I read this thread. I have a ton of these in my tank also. I Googled the name and found many websites that say these could bother/eat/hurt many corals, the major names were polyps, zoos and some leather corals. I think I will do a little more research...

My bulbs are almost six months old. I run them six hours a day trying to reduce my aglea

Thanks for the help. Maybe you can help me understand why everything I find on the web under bicolor blenny diet show they are an algea eater? Your advise seems to be working but I'm still confused on this topic.

My Seabe anemone and my Derasa Clam seem to be loosing there color. On the seabe its starting to bleach in the center around the mouth, other than that its open and eating silver fish just fine. I do not notice any change other than the loss of color. The clam was on the bottom of the tank...
