Is it a newer system ?
There could have been a lack of available food for the lawnmower blenny to eat.

What's a build thread

It's a post in a different section of the forum. You get a neat little tag under your name when you start one. It's a way to document your tank and it's growth. Kind of like a journal :)

What's a build thread

It’s a detailed description of your tank and the work you do on it. If you tap the “build thread contributor“ banner under someone’s name you will see an example.
