This Blenny has never acted this way before. First, he is messing with my Yellow Watchman Goby. Actually going in his cave. Than, when I went to clip the algae sheet on the clip, he bit me. Now, him and the Watchman are doing the Matrix fighting near the top of the water. Has anyone else had their Blenny go postal?

Maybe he has rabies...

On a serious note sounds like he may need some time in the sump lol

It was a full moon yesterday... Seriously, I've had to shut the lights off early when they start this and it's always been within 3 days of a full moon.

what kind of blenny? and refresh my memory on your tank size please

He's a Starry Blenny. I have a 220. I just seen the Watchman go to the other side of the tank. The Blenny is sitting on top of the rock that the Watchman was calling his home.

I noticed this statement on a few fish sites concerning your type of blenny ...

"Not recommended with other blennies and similarly shaped fish, but is peaceful with all other fish"

Well, that sucks. I've had that Watchman for about 3 years. The Blenny is around 2 years old. The Blenny never did that in the 90. Well, unless he did it while I was at work maybe. Maybe he needs a Prozac ....

Well, the Goby made a new home on the other side of the tank. That is where he originally had his home till the Brittle Star went over there. The Star has moved to a different location. So all is calm in the tank for now.
