Is My Midas Blenny OK?

[FishinAround]

I just purchased a Midas Blenny at the local LFS. By the time I got him home (30-45 minutes) he didn't look very good. The front half of his body is all blotchy black & gray color instead of the normal color that he was in the LFS. Is this normal or is there something seriously wrong? On another question, I just added a purple firefish to a 120g reef tank that only had 2 royal grammas in it. I read that royal grammas are very peaceful but they immediately started charging towards the firefish with their mouths wide open. They haven't tried to nip yet but they get very close and seem to be more aggresive then I expected. They have been the only two fish in the tank for about 2 weeks. Will the eventually calm down?

The blenny was just extremely freaked out about being caught and bagged up. Since midas blennies are good at hiding in rocks, they can be a huge pain to catch in store conditions. Sometimes an employee will take forever to capture it, leading to extra stress. The fish should return to normal color within a day or two. They're tough fish.

Grammas can be territorial, so they're not doing anything out of the ordinary. They like to have a cave, and so do firefish, so there's a bit of extra competition there. The firefish should do all right, especially if it avoids the grammas for now. They'll get over it sooner or later.

It's weird, the firefish is completely oblivious to the grammas. The grammas will charge with their mouths wide open and the firefish will either just ignore them or turn and look at them like they're crazy.

Royal grammas "think" they can scare other fish but they really can't lol Don't stress urself over it
