Could be cyanno, this is a necessary step in establishing a tank, it can take up to two years to get coraline. Remember, establishing a new tank takes time, you just need to be patient and success will come

Tank size ? I'm guessing 30g. Lawnmower blenny will do great just make sure to feed algae once your tank is clear in time

it’s a 15g waterbox peninsula. there is also a 6 line wrasse that is under the sand. He buries himself every night at like 8pm like clockwork.

Might have some issues with adding a blenny to that system with the wrasse having dominance. Also a lawnmower blenny needs at least 25-30g but then again so does a sixline wrasse. I would say do some research on nano blenny fish

My wrasse buries himself in the sand every night because he’s afraid and shy and shares with a clownfish. You think a blenny wouldn’t survive if he was added and had rocks to hide in? Also pretty much every day I have had to clean sand and glass of algae that’s why it looks like there isn’t much, but if they eat that i am sure he would have no problem finding food.
