Skittish Midas Blenny

[ReefJCB]

I have a new Midas Blenny that I just added to my display after a month in QT. He is super skittish and hides every time I walk by the tank. I am worried about him not getting enough food. In the QT it wasn't an issue for feeding because he had no competition. In my display though by the time he's not too scared to come out, my clowns and coral beauty angel fish have eaten everything already.

Is there anything I can do, other than over feeding, to make sure that he gets enough to eat? Or am I just being hyper sensitive and worrying over nothing.

Give it some time....you will find that your Midas Blenny has the potential to be the most personable fish in your tank once it settles in.

They also will eat algae in your tank. Stand far away from the tank and observe. He might be eating off the rocks etc

My blenny would not come out in front of me for about 2 months. Now he will investigate me when my hands are in the tank lol! Just give him some time and once he gets used to you it’ll work out. Perhaps add some extra food in to ensure he can get some scraps.
