So sad! Help in information on Midas Blenny.

Hi, our Midas Blenny just died, for a days he kept going to a corner up all the way to the fish tank almost out the water to gasp but she kept then swimming happily as she usually would. I saw something off her face was a little bloated and white we fed the fish and she ate normal. I was actually googling to see what could’ve been wrong. As they are we stepped out for 10 minutes and just came back home to her being dead in the sand. Not sure what’s going on or why this could’ve happened. Has anyone had this issue or does anyone have any information. I’m scared now for my other 4 fish. I have a scopa tang, orange back angel fish and two blue green chromis. Plus the corals. I’m so saddened right now. Thank you.

do you have plenty of surface movement?

Sad for your loss. Being a long time aquarist and working as a tech, unfortunately our fish are vulnerable to mysterious health conditions just like people. Sometimes they die and we never pinpoint the cause. Its always unsettling but often is just a random event.
I would watch your other fish and if they seem fine I would just move on.
