    oldfishkeeper, in this instance I would just let nature take its course.

    The fish could have internal parasites and at this point removing him or stressing the fish is not what I would do.

    his behavior is what is weird. I do need to get some garlic and I'll try soaking some nori in it and seeing if that helps....I just don't want him to be suffering or anything.

    I have merged both threads.

    In the past I have had fish behave this way for no unforeseen reason and be normal there after.

    Thank you for merging Coralline. I didn't know how to do that. Ok, I'll just chill and keep an eye on him. I'm so excited I posted my first pic :)

    lfs had a blenny do the same, it recovered in a few days and has been looking fine since. I believe it was do to stress and not eating, he was moving stores and preparing to move the tank.
