Hey guys just got a Midas Blenny yesterday, he was at my LFS for 1 month eating fine, etc...

So I brought him home yesterday, did a drip acclimation and check for the LFS water salinity which was the same as mine...

So when it finally went in, it went immediately into hiding, but had its stressed out brown stripes... Today mid afternoon it started coming out and ate well, swimmed around but would go back into hiding when I approached.

But an hour or so later here he is, at the overflow doing bubbles on the surface.

I have good surface agitation with a power head and return pump so I don't know what to do more...

No ammonia, no nitrate and no medication yet, I can touch him a bit until he reacts and almost jumps out of the tank...

Like I said a moment ago he was fine
