I've had terrible luck with ember blennies. Years ago I had what I thought was one who lived a couple years for me. I've tried 3 since then in the hopes of getting another but all 3 of them died within the first week and one didn't even make it 24 hours. I don't what's up with that but I'm reasonably confident it wasn't my acclimation technique so I've sort of given up on ever trying another. It's probably one of those cases where if you get one that lives it will be bulletproof but if it takes 5 fish to find that one that will make it then that sort of sucks..
Good luck, they are an awesomely beautiful fish. As far as blennies go they are one of my favourites. Although I'll likely never try another unless I find one for sale by a hobbyist shutting a tank down or something like that.
