He/she looks better than mine...
I noticed this morning that he was coral food [emoji52]
Oh no! So sorry to see that. What kind of coral is it? Mushroom?
Aagh don't say intestinal blockage!
I'll just put it down to over-indulgence at the algae buffet then...he is a great little, er, relatively speaking, guy.

No, he's just steadily grown fatter, and larger overall.
The first blenny I had was a lawnmower and she wasted away because I guess there was not enough algae in my tank. It was stressful when she wouldn't eat anything I offered. I was worried about the tail spot but read they are better eaters. Boy that was an understatement!
Mine is also very fat and sometimes has stringy poop hanging off him. I've seen mine do that same maneuver. I wouldn't worry about the poop unless it's pure white. That could mean internal parasites. You could try to feed him a blanched pea. Kind of like a fish laxative is how it was described to me. But if he's not really taking things from the water column maybe that's not really feasible. When mine gets ungodly fat I just reduce feedings. But if he's getting that way just on algae, not much you can do about it. I wouldn't worry about it.Wanted to post an amusing update on my blenny, who is still very fat. Basil only this week decided that mysis is also delicious & snags them from the water column at dinner time. Great ...
So just now I’m looking at the tank & see he is trailing a poop that is the same length as his body! What ;Jawdrop
I am not exaggerating. He’s 2.5” long! So he dives into his shell house but while turning around manages to wrap the poop around himself. He finally gets annoyed, grabs part of the poop in his mouth, swims out, throws the length of it away into the depths of the rocks, and gets back into his house.
Good grief.
