Added Bicolor Blenny and cant find him!

[barbpatter]

After a power outage killed my yellow tang and gobby last week, we did a water change, checked out levels for a week and bought a bicolor blenny, 2 pj cardinals, a coral beauty and a couple emerald crabs. (added them to my clown and cleaner shrimp) We acclimated the new Father's Day gifts yesterday, added them to the tank and all was great. They were all slowly getting used to each other. The blenny was hopping all around. We went out to dinner, and we have not seen the blenny since! I have not moved my live rock yet, but I was surprised it didnt come out to eat or anything. Is it scared? Could it be dead somewhere already or do you think that it is just hiding, feasting on my algae? Should I start moving things looking for it or give it time? How much time? Please help!

I would give it a little time. They are very good at finding a hiddy hole and backing into it.

I cant believe it! I decided to get on a chair and look behind the tank to see if he jumped out. He didnt. I started AGAIN to peer into holes in my live rock and I bet I must have looked at him 100 times in the last 12 hours, but there I see and tiny black head and eyes looking at me. Oh I am so relieved..he is so cute. Just hope he decided to come out so we can enjoy him a bit.

I am sure it will - Mine hid for a few days, now I see it out sitting on the rocks all the time. when he get spooked, he hurrys and backs into his hole.
