His mouth is gaping. Post all parameters including temp, NO3, PH,Alk & PO4. What type of lighting & what size tank? Are you using RO/DI water? Topping off daily? What is the SG.?

Brine shrimp has no nutritional value, unless it is newly hatched baby brine shrimp, or live gutloaded adults. Frozen Piscine brand mysis shrimp is a much healthier staple for your fish. Chances are he had something else happening. Did he appear to be losing weight even though he was eating...

One of the employees at the shop has kept one for three years so far...he is the only one I know who has had that kind of success.

My corals love my fish...they feed them.

Cool...odd blennies can be tough to ID, gobies too. There are so many! Good luck with him. It does say they can nip sps on one site I found. I just took a little blue & gold blenny out of my tank recently and my sps finally healed. He was ripping up the underside of them.

Sorry for your loss. How long did you have him & what were you feeding him? He could have had some type of pathogen or parasite.

I have had mine for years...

Ok..found it..~ Flametail Blenny /Atrosalarias sp. google it..

A prizm is'nt built for proper skimming, and unless you have had a good skimmer, you may not understand the difference. Prizm's don't have a tower that the foam can build in. If cost is an issue, look at Coralife super skimmer...it's a step up from the prizm. Having two skimmers=2 pumps=more heat.

There is lots of info on google...here is one http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/Spec...ry.php?id=4322

He could have been stung by the foxface, any marks on him? You need to consider this fish will most likely become a terror & kill any fish kept with him if he makes it. I doubt the hermit killed a healthy fish, there may have been something that killed him as well. Any outward signs of disease...

You need to ditch the prizm and get a real skimmer...no offense. Look at Euro-Reef, Aqua-C, ASM...something in the correct size for your 125. You will have a sump correct?

They need a six inch sandbed, and extremely high flow. Not an easy fish, best kept for state aquariums or left in the ocean.

It may be the tapwater in your area is ok...in some areas the TDS is low. Here in Central FL it is 350. If I were to use tapwater it would be an algae nightmare. I am just trying to caution you as 99% of the people here are young and new to the hobby. They have'nt done this for ten years as you...

I was just messing with you..we don't have the winky guy here, this one will have to do>> Good luck, and let us know if you have any other questions.
