Hi there,
We just got a Starry Blenny for our 29gal on Saturday afternoon. Due to an emergency with our quarantine tank, we were forced to remove the fish from the QT tank and put him in the main tank on Sunday evening. We had no other choice, despite the fact that we had not treated him for anything yet.
My question is... do your starry blenny's eyes look kind of cloudy (not sure if that is the best word to use)? I am worried about flukes, and I'm trying to figure out if we should dose prazipro in the main tank, but the thing is that his eyes are only cloudy at certain angles. At other angles, they look totally normal. I looked up pictures and saw instances of both. Here is a link to a picture of the kind of thing I'm talking about:

He is eating fine... grazing on all the yummy algae. His breathing seems a bit fast to me, but honestly I'm not sure if it really is fast, or if that is his normal breathing rate, or if I am imagine things because I am a constant worrier.
Anyway, I'm just trying to figure out what other Starry Blenny owners think, particularly about the eye thing.
(Not sure if this is supposed to go in the disease forum, but I figured since I wasn't sure I'd put it in here).
Thanks everyone! I just want Theodore Roosevelt to prosper in our tank!
