When lights go out my blenny goes to sleep sometimes on a rock..sometimes on the substrate...he decided to lay on the substrate in his usual corner he was sleeping and the freaking hermit crab clawed his eye !!!!!

I work late on my laptop and his corner is next to me on the couch I heard the hermit crabs shell knocking on the tank...anyway I separated them seen my blenny was extremely stressed I left him be

Next I checked to see where that pesky crab went..it killed my cleaner shrimp omg :mad::mad: checked on Midas today he was still laying and breathing heavy he got up to swim but now laying down again..I don’t know if my little guy will make it our not he is usually the first to pop up and eat



One eye is foggy the other is perfect,the pic of him swimming was before he got injured

I suspect something is wrong with the blenny. Healthy fish, like your blenny will definitely move away from a hermit crab before it can damage it, even if it was sleeping.
