Bi Color Blenny (Color / behavior)

   I have a really cool bicolor blenny that was my first fish. He has been
in my tank for about a month and a half, with a Yellow Clown Goby I
have had for a month. 

I alternate feeding day by day (Example-Monday once a day. Tuesday
twice a day, wed. once a day, etc) Not sure why but I think mainly it
seems easy to over feed when not much food is needed. 

I feed Frozen brine shrimp, cyclo-peeze, Froze Foemula 2 with garlic,
and some flake food in the morning on twice a day feedings.

Fish seem to come out and eat some and go on there way, my Peppermint
shrimp comes out and jumps around trying to get the remaining leftovers.

Any way the last couple weeks I noticed two things, I see some white
splotchy(SP?) coloration come and go on him. ( Not Ich, the skin will
actually whiten in spots) Then go away for days and come back for a
half a day or a full day, then go away again. I know the blenny has
some sputs down his side that look whitish, but this can be anywhere on
his body.

The second thing he is doing lately is swimming around and looks like
he is doing back flips, and tossing around like a rodeo bull, looks
like he is having fun but not sure if this a sign of something.

He come out to eat and seems like most of the time he is fine. Am I
over reacting or is my feeding practices off, or something else.

Corals, shrimp, cleanup crew, and yellow Goby all seem to be fine also.

Thanks for looking,

Rob
