Theoretically that would be a good idea to reduce feeding to see what happens. But, the other fish (clown, chromis, etc) need to be fed... And the blenny is right there in the mix when its feeding time too. I am thinking though of feeding pellets for a bit instead of the mysis because at least the blenny hasn't figured out pellets are food yet. We'll see how he looks tomorrow. Although, he's literally eating algae all day like its going out of style.

By feeding the pellets only, which he still hasn't figured out are food, his belly has decreased notably. Still bumpy though, as the blenny is often foraging on something. I'd have to isolate him and remove food completely if I really want to rule out that the blenny just eats too much.
My book came in the mail today (Health & Feeding Handbook). From what I can gather, the alternative is that it is some kind of sporozoan. I will just have to monitor the situation. If it does get worse, I'll have to isolate the fish and likely euthanize as sporozoans, if cysts rupture, can infect other fish. Also, no known cures / effective treatments.
