Midas Blenny touches BTA

[tippytango]

Sooo my Midas Blenny’s favorite rock perch happens to be smack in the middle of where my 2 BTA’s tentacle’s expand to… I have seen the tentacles touch my blenny on multiple occasions. Is it only a matter of time before she is stung and paralyzed? I have read this can happen to fish who don’t give the nems space.
I am worried for her!

If she gets stung, there will be lots of fits in her that are dark
They seem to be somewhat resistive to anemones. Same with domino damsels

Realistically if that's the spot your glenny has chosen to hang out, there's not much you can do about it unless you are willing to move the nems. I personally would not be.

This right here. My midas blenny has rubbed against my RBTAs and mags with no issues. they are known to have a very thick and durable slime coat. Not quite enough to avoid a haddoni, but mine has no issues with mags and rbta.

My Midas constantly rubs against my BTA. He seems to be unaffected and if it does bother him, he definitely hasn’t learned his lesson because he does it a lot.
