Had a Canary Blenny for 4 weeks and woke up this morning and he was laying around in bad shape. Had some tail and dorsal tears, but also a little red spot on his side fin. I have a blue leg hermit, skunk cleaner and clowns. LFS said it was attacked and picked on and not a parasite or anything. Anyone have thoughts on this? Not sure what would have attacked. I used dry rock for the aquarium startup so I don’t think I have a hitchhiker at all.

Clowns are my suspects and sounds like territorial aggression occured.
Can you post a couple of pics under white lighting for verification ?
 
I should have grabbed some pics. LFS actually took him to see if they could medicate him a bit. I never saw the clowns go after him and their territories were the opposite ends of the 20. The blenny actually slept attached to the glass in the back corner
