I’ve been told he is a bicolor Blennym a goby, etc, I believe he’s a bicolor,
anyway he shows no signs of injuries that I can tell, although his belly seems to be a little more white than normal.
the last four or five days he has been laying in the rocks as shown in the pictures. Has not left it, At night he hides in his Hole ( a actual hole that he can fit his whole body in. ) I noticed today for the first time that he didn’t leave his spot to eat, there is no spots on him, no nothing.
two small clowns were added over a month ago that were in quarantine so I’m sure illness has not entered the tank.
ive had him three years.
other fish in the tank look great

i think it is a midas.. not a bicolor..

those guys perch and basically hang out.. i mean yours could have an issue, but most are just tank voyeur's.

Yes, that is a midas blenny. If he is eating I would not be too worried. Mine always stays in its little hidey hole until feeding. May take a little while until it gets comfortable in your tank. Good luck.
