Lumpy convict

[reefcoral]

Not the Huntley type unfotunately as I'm sure many of you would like to see him after having a good beating.

No, this is the fishy type.

I've a couple of 8" convicts that I got from Macca 10 months ago. As they've grown they've developed some huge boils on their sides.

The lumps were definately there before the shrimp went missing!!!

Has anybody else seen such lumps on these Blennies before?

Cheers,
Dave

No mine are around 12/14 inch and i have had no missing fish shrimps etc, they are very shy and only just started coming out to feed i dont know how big they get so we all might have some monsters on our hands. Twiggy

i have two about 12" and one has a boil on its side its been like this for about 6 months but dosent seem to get any bigger

Yes one of mine is like you describe. It still eats & gets on with things. I reckon it's an infection from rubbing against rocks all the time.

yes mine had two of these last week they seem to come and go mine has none at the moment thought it may be rock or contact with bristle worms

[reefcoral]

I have lots of bristle worms, and some real monster ones too.
