Benny the bi-colour blenny has started taking up residence on my leather - which is a finger coral type thing.
That coral goes through a couple of days every so often where it's polyps aren't extended, and it tends to get a bit droopy, as it is at the moment.This behaviour of the coral doesn't bother me, as it usually comes back in full force within a couple of days, and it's always come back bigger than before.

What is new is the blenny taking to perching himself on it - is this likely to be irritating the coral, or should I just let it go, given that the blenny might move along in a day or so (hopefully)?

The blenny will claim it as his home!! Mine does the same thing the coral will get used to it they don't move to much and after a while won't agitate the coral (mines polips don't close anymore)

heh cool. My leather has its own personality. Just the way it periodically closes up for a day or two, the way it droops, the way it comes back, and the grief that it gives the poor ric on the side of it when it starts drooping over it. Never thought coral would have personality until I bought some :D
