Just got a new Midas blenny from petco , hard to say no at 20$. Praying lawn mower blenny doesn’t fight it , saw a little chase at first but no aggression so far

Found new Midas on floor this morning , no top definitely hurting now. I put him back into the tank could move somewhat and breath but I think it’ll be cuc food sadly
Bro... You scare me with the buy and dump ins. That's how my tank got all velvetey smooth. I'll QT anything you want to add. I really Don't want to see your tank wiped.

That could work, I have an algae cleaner with a razor blade attached I’m just scared of scratching glass but I’m sure it’ll be fine long as I don’t rush

I use my normal glass scraper. Going straight down to the sand bed. Pull it back away and off of the glass, a little shake then do it again.

3rd pic I think I found another baby rfa! It’s in between the Xenia under the majano anemone , other news is LTA continues to move lol found new spot in corner with darker light / low flow , zoomed in pic to show it’s currently burying its own foot , testament that anemones will do as they please and moving them can be for nill. And RBTa split today last pic
