new blennie missing

[wetone]

Added a new scooter blennie on Fri night. I acclimated the way I normally do with floating to adjust temp then adding parts of tank water to LFS water for about 30 mins. I netted this guy, put him in, he immediately headed for the back of the LR and I haven't seen him since. There are no predators in the tank, (tang, cardinal, damsel) the rest is corals. Any idea?? do they normally find a hole and hide for a while until adjusted to tank life?

Well, I would say not to worry yet. It might take him a few days to get used to the tank. Sometimes even weeks. You dont have any crabs or inverts such as Anenomes right? If so they could attack and kill him. But in the long run, I wouldnt worry yet.

I do have a small flower pot anenome, that never moves, I would assume the blennie would stay away from the stingers like all other fish. There are some blue leg hermits used for cleanup, they are small and I have not noticed them bother any other things....yet ??!!
