Lawnmower Blenny about to explode?

For the past week my LMB looks super bloated (I'll try to get a pick later on). I've had it for a year, and I've never seen it look like this. No new inhabitants have been introduced in 6 months, and my feeding schedule hasn't changed. It's active, alert, and feeding as it normally has.

Is this normal? Could it be eggs? Parasites? Is this a fish that will eat until it explodes?

I don't think you have anything to worry about mine looks the same he has been like that for a year, he has eaten so much that he is now bigger by half over my Black combtooth blenny. And my other lawnmower has now discovered food gets dropped into the tank twice a day and is now looking the same way so fat that his pectoral fins can't touch the rock he is on. kind of looks like a tadpole.
