Bicolor Blenny

I have had this fish for a couple weeks now and he doesn't want to hang out in the rocks, he swims back and forth along the glass, goes to the rocks and rubs himself on them really fast, pecks at it like he is eating and eats with the two chromis I have, but then rests at the top of the tank on top of my heater mostly. I plan on adding about 6 more lbs of live rock, do you think that would help? Has anyone else had one that acts like this? You can see where he hangs out in this pic. When he isn't there he is all over the place except for on the rocks.

5-6 lbs LR
2 lbs LS
ph 8.0
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 10

Rubbing itself on the rocks isn''t a good thing. Have you checked to see if it has any signs of ich or some other form of infection?

He doesn't have any signs of ich or anything. His color comes and goes like he is stressed sometimes but other than that he looks completely healthy and eats just fine. Thought maybe I should get a cleaner shrimp if he would hold still long enough in case he had some kind of bug on him or something.

got is solved I dove into the tank and did some rearranging of the rocks and before the dust even settled all 3 where staking there claim and mr Blenny found himself a hole for himself. We will see if everyone is still happy tomorrow. Sorry about the bad pic but you can see his head at the top of the rocks poking out. lol
