This is a question that has been in my head a lot, coming in and out. What is it that makes a Midas blenny change colour? And I don’t mean stress but I mean, 24/7. You see Escenius midas most commonly labelled as “Blue Midas Blenny”, “Gold Midas Blenny”. I saw a thread about a Midas blenny gthat went a very deep red shade, the theory about that was because the midas was under red, blue and white lights with red being rather high along with blue. However, you’d think with heavy blues and lower white/red/greens you’d have a deep blue Midas, this isn’t always the case though.
I thought it would potentially be surroundings but again, I saw a bright gold midas and a blue Midas right next to eachother, tanks set up the same way in the LFS. Both had a green/blue fake plant and a piece of rock in them.
So, what is it that actually changes their colour other than stress?
Here’s just some different colours Midas blennies can be:
