John Vinson Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I've had the blenny in quarantine since I picked him up at Cuttlefish on Sunday. I noticed a white spot on the left side of his face, but it comes and goes, so am I correct to assume that it's not a parasite or ick or anything? I don't want to add copper into the tank unless absolutely necessary, just wanted to double check if this disappearing spot is normal for blennies....thanks!

SuncrestReef Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 My tailspot blenny changes color occasionally, usually at night, with various white spots or markings. I think it's a camouflage technique. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicyclebill Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 That is absolutely normal for blennies. Quarantine for them is pretty pointless in my experience. They could likely live in a mud puddle for 2 hours and be fine. I've had a midas blenny that made a 3 hour trek in a piece of live rock wrapped in newspaper.
