Excuse the mess. The new skimmer is arriving tomorrow and the tank will be getting a decent clean then.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not recommend that people with less than 50lbs of LR keep a mandarin of any sort, even if it is labelled as a blenny. E.g. Scooter blenny. This fish is very difficult to feed and about 80% will die in their first year. My LR are the original pieces of rock from a 20+ year old tank which makes keeping this species plausible.
