My lawnmower blenny was last seen yesterday. He was very active and normal acting. Today i have not seen him at all. I know they change color and blend in with the rocks but it's odd that i haven't seen him. He has been front and center since day one. What should i do? I even clipped sea weed in there to get him to come out. He really likes sea weed

How long has he been in your tank? Did you make any changes? Is there any chance he jumped out?

There is a good chance he is just hiding for no reason, but I thought I would throw those questions out there, just in case.

He's been in there for 1 month and 1 week. He was my first fish. I looked all around the tank ,in the sump, filter socks, overflow box even in the power heads. No changes were made at all.

I have 3 jumbo turbo snails, 5 med ones and 5 blue legged hermit crabs. That's it

Hopefully he will pop out tomorrow. I've had gobies disappear without reason, only to show up days (or in one case MONTHS) later like they had never disappeared.

Gobies can really hunker down.

I hope he does too. He and my maroon clownfish were my first fish. I have lost 3 others that i acquired. I don't want to lose him also.

Has he shown up yet?

No not yet. I'm gave up hope. My nitrates all of a sudden went way up. I'm thinking maybe a decomposing fish,with bacteria doing its job, it's probable that he's dead.
