Hi guys. I just got a midas blenny shipped to me on Friday and it is now Tuesday - so not long at all. I woke up to the midas blenny dead. Saturday and Sunday he was eating, yesterday not as much. He still had his stress colours but I thought the eating was a great sign. Last night I dosed reef flux for my bryopsis and this morning the midas blenny is dead. My other stock (2 clowns, and a yellow watchman goby, plus inverts) are all acting normal. My current only guess is that the reef flux treatment stressed out an already stressed out new arrival. I will attach pics and videos.
Here is the midas blenny eating Sunday (he didn't eat much at all on the Monday before the treatment):

Here is a picture of the midas blenny yesterday with some stress colouring- it's been like that since it got arrived. Along with pictures of the fish after he passed:
I'm honestly not sure where to go from here. Does anyone see anything wrong with the fish? Do you guys think it was the reef flux treatment? I hadn't even had the fish for a full week yet
