Well I would say he's shedding but I just skimmed over your perameters so 1 sec.

Tank.Bro! · Nov 30, 2014

Put him lower in the tank if possible like on a little island or sandbed

ok ill try... um but with the water flow be ok im trying to send pictures from phone to my comp. to upload to show better

Tank.Bro! · Nov 30, 2014

Try to keep it in high flow not directly from power head but like a little bit away from it. Just don't blow it across the tank... Yeah

heres the tank

here what it looks like after likes are off for a while ( i turned the blue lights on to take a pic ha )

Tank.Bro! · Nov 30, 2014

Yeah he's to high up lower him and also I would clean algae up a bit it's probably irritating him

placid · Nov 30, 2014

ik i need more cleaners but i leave the side glass that way so my algae blenny always has food to eat if that makes sense

placid · Nov 30, 2014

ok im gonna get to it and hopefully hell open up

Tank.Bro! · Nov 30, 2014

Yeah honestly I used to have one and just the rock is enough if my then u can just feed some brine shrimp they eat it right up.

placid · Nov 30, 2014

placid · Nov 30, 2014

ok so i cleaned up the sand bed as best as i could and moved a rock to set the coral on let me what you think

Tank.Bro! · Nov 30, 2014

Great thats gonna grow good give him a few days just to acclimate and he'll be fine. If problems continue check your perameaters.

placid · Nov 30, 2014

leave It alone for a bit. softies do not like to be touched or moved. I have two toads, and both are higher up on the rocks and get medium flow. they will shed every now and then.
