I brought Midas Blenny in the evening and temp/ppm acclimated. After couple ours I let him out and he went straight to the back corner of the tank behind the heater
Now is day 2 and he is still there. Poking out from time to time. He was eating anything on the first evening, including shrimp I was giving him on the stick. Some times he poke his head out of water.
It’s 73 gallon tank with 100 lb of live rock, 2 tiny clowns and cleaner shrimp. Blenny is solid 3”
Please let me know if I should be worried or he will adjust

Likely stressed from the move. Midas blennys in my experience like to hide alot. As long as he's eating, i wouldn't be overly concerned :)

Sounds like a midas blenny to me. Turn off whites and leave blues on. he should come out for food at minimum. They're shy at first.
Always acclimate Not under normal tank light but under low light
