I have a 29 Gallon QT setup which currently has the following inhabitants - Copperband Butterfly, One-Spot Foxface, Starry Blenny, and a Midas Blenny. I unfortunately had to to add the Midas about 2 days after the Starry due to shipping; however, even since the Midas has been in (going on Day 2 now), the Starry has been bullying him. It doesn't seem they are "bitting" but more just a show of dominance, pushing the Midas to the top of the water, etc. Any suggestions on what I can do to reduce/eliminate the aggression so they can both be QT happily?

Maybe a tank divider of eggcrate,more cover, such as pvc fittings so the midas can hide, a mirror to distract the starry.
