Your water is OK, should get your ca and alk up a bit but thats not hurting your fish, he could be stressed if he is being bullied.

So, will moving him to quarantine stress him out even more? Should I just keep an eye on things and just let him lay there? Moving the blenny isn't really an option, no way I can net him and I dont really have anything to bait a fishtrap with that the blenny would go for....

Unfortunately moving him may cause him more stress, if you do move him try to use the water in your tank to fill your qt if possible then you don't have to acclimate him.

I would make sure he gets into quarantine soon. He will be less stressed in there i'm sure. If you leave him in the DT other fish will start picking on him, which will most likely lead to death. Make sure you use yout tank water so that you don't have to acclimate him. Are you using any filters running on your main system that you can swap over to a QT?

Ya, The blenny is definitely being an ass. I've moved the wrasse into the sump until tonight when I do the water change and set up the q/t. I've got some floss I can seed with, I've been meaning to pick up a foam bubble filter...

Should I dose the q/t water with paraguard to be safe? What should I be trying to feed him?
