Does anyone faces the same problem as me?

sorry to hear that,

its either ur midas is ill, or got bullied.

it happened to me before, it suddenly stop coming out and later went MIA totally when there is ni aggression at all.

but hope urs is just agression problem.

these cases are hard to solve when there is not enough information from your side.

all the best.

Not referring to midas blenny along, I did experience new fishes gone hiding after 1-2 days of show attraction.

The following couple of days were suspense and worries.

And when I did a routine water change, walah!!! I see the poor chaps rotten body slowly flowing out from the back. How sad!

Thanks all reef lovers..

So what can i do now to get him start swimming again?

[comycus]

nothing much other than hope and pray.

Like what Law has mentioned, it would be better if you gave us more information. if it's an aggression problem, you should check fish compatibility in future before adding new fishes.

if its indeed an aggression problem, first suspect will be the maroon clown. the purple tang could be quite aggressive too. algae blenny might have some tiffs with your midas blenny since they are conspecifics. wat wrasse is that? some wrasses are fierce.

Thanks lemon, u are very right, it's those fishes that kept chasing my midas blenny..

any remedy?

Cos last nite i saw my midas came out for food..

Btw any experience drwalf angel can be kept in reef tank?

potter angel, lemon angel, golden angel?

[Solo77]

provide enough crevice for the midas to hide and they need meaty meal. For dwarf angel, yes, it can be kept in reef tank but they are not 100 % coral safe...u need to take the risk....

[yikai]

dwarf angels can be kept in a reef tank. although there are some risk. golden angel is not very reef safe. have seen it nip corals a few times before. plus, they are super extremely shy fishes. your current livestock will kill it.

lemonpeel angel is a definate no. one of the worst dwarf angel in terms of reefsafeness.

potter's angel is till considerable. some what like a flame angel. 50-50, but also depends on the individual fish

no guarantees, heard of potter angel have higher tendency of touching on corals.

perhaps you can try flame angel, might be safer than potter IMO. btw, they love zoas, brain coral and prata.

[Magnet]

thanks for all the info, really help alot, guess have to give up angels for the sake of corals..

will try post some photo of my tanks
