Scooter Blenny Q&A

I wish you had replied before I put a clownfish pair in my tank Connie LOL. They are fearless and eat like hyenas so I doubt the little scooter would have a chance to even get a little snack. Even if I tried to target feed I'm afraid they'd chase him away and take all the food themselves, they even fight over it with each other.

It's a shame it's a dragonet, I wish it was what Petco refers to it as, a blenny. I might add him once my tank is fully stabilized and settled but it would be a gamble... some things just aren't meant to be.

Last time I went to Petco they had 2, and the employee told me they've been there for months(a 75g display with only 2 live rock pieces, which look like they weigh about 3-5lbs each... Something still doesn't add up though, and I know it's cheap but I get sensitive when something dies on me haha(nothing has yet thank God). Then again, I think I would do a far better job than Petco at keeping it... i don't know, by the way anyone bought any corals at Petco? Any troubles? They have a 25% off sale and I figure instead of paying 20-40 more at LFS i can give Petco a go.
 
I got a scooter he's pretty funny to watch him hunt for the pods. He also eats mysis. Gets along with clowns, angels not sure about my gobies he's been missing for a while. Scooter is suspect!
He disappears at night and doesn't harm coral. Petco is a bit iffy so maybe quarantine it.
Best of luck post some pics of it!
 
When they're not eating, the female likes to charge at the little guy but he always shys away from her. It's more like nibbling than biting so he's probably at that awkward age lol

My phone doesn't allow me to take pictures when it's low on battery so I couldn't, I will try to next week though!
