Scooter blenny in sump

[Jegs7]

The sump is a part of the back of my 30 gal nano and it crept through one of the vents that takes water in.

Should I leave it there since its tiny (approx. 1") and let it grow without trouble from other fish (specially my maroon clown)

Let me know

How long has the tank been setup? In many cases scooter blennies need a well established tank that is a little larger than that just to provide for their dietary needs.

Close to 3 months now

My recommendation would be to catch it out and rehome it. Let your tank mature for 6-12 months before adding a dragonet. Even then 30g is on the small side, so rubble piles and training it to eat from a dragomet feeding station would be a good start.

I think your fine just try to feed it frozen brine chopped up a little then switch it over to chopped mysis. It worked for my 3 ruby red dragonets.
