Welcome to ARC.
 Just an FYI... the Scooter "blenny" is not a blenny at all. In fact, it is a Dragonet. (Huge pet peeve of mine in the industry, that dragonets are deliberately mis-labeled as blennies or gobies). A 12-gallon tank is too small to support a Dragonet. They do best in tanks of 75-gallons or more, with 100 or more pounds of live rock, which have been well established, and have little or no competition. Dragonets typically only eat live copepods and amphipods which live and breed in the live rock. In smaller tanks, the pods cannot reproduce quickly enough to keep the Dragonet fed, and it will slowly starve to death. You may wish to return the Dragonet or find it a more suitable home, before it's too late. When they become obviously skinny (with sunken belly) they are usually too far gone to recover. Cheers, Jenn
