    Hi Guys,

    Just thought I would share some stuff on my new Midas blenny. I got him last Tuesday and I think that he is finally starting to settle in. He came out aggressively today when it was time to feed. I think that he is picking up on the signs that it is close to feeding time. I have been feeding the tank mysis and marine cuisine, but my clowns and six line miss the nori that I used to feed my tang.r I am probably going to try and feed a little nori tomorrow and see what happ ens.

    He immediately went and hid in my xenia when I put him in there. He stayed there for a couple of days and I never saw him venture out. I couldn't find him yesterday in his usual spot so I started searching. I looked and looked but couldn't find it. I knew that he hadn't jumped out because I have mesh tops on. I found him in a small hole in one of the rocks. I saw him today and he backs himself into the hole. I snapped a picture of him in the hole. I also have a video but am not sure if it will post properly. Anyway, thanks to Luna for his suggestion!!!!! Let me know if any of the links don't work.

    Regards,
    Ivy
