Thanks Dawn!

Barnacle Blennies are ridiculously cute! I think the patrons of the "Crabby Patty", on SpongBob were modeled after them.

One behavior I didn't see much of in v1 is 'beach time', where they venture out from their holes and gather on the sandbar. They size each other up and challenge each other in a sort of Darwinian Playground. I think they realize the tank is theirs (for now), and they're enjoying the space.

Ever since I lost the grammas in v1 to ICH, I've been counting the moments until I can have them again. The fake wall with the gramma caves is the perfect match for their preferred topography. Watching them surf the current effortlessly along the wall is a beautiful, natural part of their lifestyle, and a ball to watch!
