Behavior

The Ocellate (Carpet) Eel-Blenny is a secretive, eel-like predator that lurks in caves and rockwork, ambushing prey. It is hardy and interesting but grows sizable and will eat small tank mates. Coral safe, but not fish- or shrimp-safe.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore. An ambush predator of small fish and crustaceans. Offer meaty foods — silversides, shrimp, and chunks of seafood — a few times weekly.

Cautions

Will eat any fish or shrimp small enough to swallow. Provide caves and a tight-fitting lid — it is a skilled escape artist. Coral safe but keep only with tank mates too large to be eaten.
