So I got home really late one night. A good 3 hours after my lights shut off for the day. And I just happened to see something out of the corner of my eye as I walked past my JBJ28. My scooter blenny was cruising the open water above my rock work. Strange enough. But he was also upright with a crook in his back much like Mr.Burns from the Simpsons. And he was just in constant motion moving around very rapidly. I have since caught him a number of other nights since then and have a short video. He waits at least 1.5-2 hours after the halides cut out, and sometime before 3am he goes into the middle of the rockwork and dissappears.
Can somebody tell me if they've seen this behavior because it totally goes against what I've read about the behavior of this fish. My parameters are all perfect and during the day he scoots normally picking at the rock and substrate. Here's the video.

The difference between night and day behavior reminds me of "The Stranger" by Billy Joel. Thanks for the video - priceless!
