    my blenny (that i talked about in another thread about his color, luckily he did turn gold) has been in my tank for 3 weeks. i had had another prob where i ordered a color variant of the highfin blenny but the blenny was black like a normal one. well it turns out he reverts back to his natural coloring when scared or stressed. but he still is not used to me so whenever i walk by he turns gray and hides in his hole. is this normal for a blenny? will he ever be comfortable

    He will most likely always have a shy personality however as mentioned above over time he will become comfortable but always somewhat shy.

    each fish is going to be a little different. Is there anyone in there picking on him? When I had my bicolor he was very skittish. Did the whole color thing and stayed in his den. I then started to see him out more and then one day he was on teh floor. I watched and my purple tang was bullying all my other fish and must have bullyed him until he jumped
