So I got my canary(midas) blenny 2 weeks ago. He was doing fine. This morning I woke up to this. He's still breathing but is like this. Any suggestions? He's barely moving

His face is turning dark. His tummy has a white spot. He also just died he's on his side now floating on the bottom. Yesterday he was fine. Bright yellow no white. Did someone bite him or did he get sucked in my power head? During a cleaning he went in it when it was off and he sleeps next it. Should I get him out of the tank now?

Yeah, sorry for your fish lose, if he is dead now then you need to remove him.

That sucks. Me and my daughter liked him. I just called Steve at Elmer's. We think maybe the wrasse or dottyback got to him at night.

I don't know having a fish for 2 or 3 weeks weeks and then it dining sound more like a fish disease or parasite than a murder. Also it doesn't look beat up with torn tattered fins. Was it QT and treated prior to going into your display tank?

I unfortunately dont have a qt tank. However after I got him out and inspected him. He appeared to have a bite mark in his belly.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
