hey if i have a 210gal that is only a week old and i just added about 140lbs of live rock...and the rock had a lawnmower blenny hitchicker....will it mess up the cycle and amonia spike if he is in there with all that live rock at once?

please let me know asap so i can take him out if need be.

It's possible it could affect him adversly. Nice hitchhiker by the way. If you have somewhere to move him or the LFS will hold him for you I would think about removing him. No one can predict exactly what kind of spike you will have. Depending on the live rock it could be big and it could be slight. It is always better to err on the side of caution. I don't think he will mess up the cycle but the cycle may mess him up..
