Hey guys, I had a weird incident happen last night, my fish tank is in my office so I notice a lot more than average because I sit next to the tank for hours a day
I was on a phone call with somebody and heard thrashing coming from my tank, I look over and my Lawn Mower Blenny is freaking out swimming from end to end of the tank before stopping in the middle of it, going limp and his body turned sideways and he just sunk down to the ground, I looked and he was still breathing just seemed stunned/paralyzed, I also noticed at the time his stomach seemed bloated but is much more normal today. He was in this weird state for probably 15 minutes or so before going back to his home between the rocks for the night.
I couldn't think of what happened, but then realized my anemone moved near the Blennys home, is it possible it stung him and that was his reaction? I thought he was going to die for sure but appears fine and normal today. He's happy, healthy, fat and the most active in my tank so would've sucked to lose him.
