Ghost shrimp they are 6 for 1.50, and mine eats them instantly

Sorry right in front of his gill, it's hard to see but it looks like hair

My blenny looks like he has hair algae growing on him just behind his gills anyone have any thoughts.

I took a few days bringing it back down. I did move the rock around a bit so that might have been the cause would that cause the fish to twitch, is this a symptom of the ammonia or the salinity?

Actually just checked the ammonia and it is zero, I had a snail die yesterday but I got him out. I guess I'm puzzled at this point. Would some kind of parasite cause the twitching? I appreciate the help

My clown fish and watchman goby seem fine, I also have a chocolate chip star fish which is fine too.

Its been up for about 3 months with no problems. I did a fishless cycle with 40 pounds of live rock and 2 shrimp. I had a hydrometer which obviously was giving me false readings, I now have a refractometer. It Is a 55 gallon tank
