this darn bi color blenny keeps perching and resting on one of my monti caps, it was growing pretty good but the color is different now, I think the blenny is killing it..

does it look OK to you guys/gals ?? or is it dying off because of the blenny? This blenny is something I tell ya, It picks up sand and spits it out, lays on my SPS, nips at my softies..

if my girl didnt like this dummy I think it'd be somewheres else by now...

Well from all the perching that blenny did, The caps died or they appeared to, I put them in my prop tank as "rubble" wouldnt you know, upside down the polyps were all out, over the course of a week, it has darkend back up and I think it has hope I'll rehab them and re-introduce them to the 90 display when they are better

(I'll be removing the blenny soon, before it decides it wants to start nipping my clams, it isnt going to have another chance at more monti-caps)

How are your acros doing in the main tank? I have never heard of perching fish causing any troubles in terms of stress on the coral. There could be a chemical stressor causing all of your problems with the montis. What else is in the tank? Is it a mixed tank with sinularia species? Do you use alot of carbon in the main tank? You have already figured out that something is stressing the monti, once you reintroduce (sans blenny) let us know how they handle the tank.
