|---|---|
| Maximum Length | 2.4″ |
| Origin | Western Pacific (Philippines, Indonesia) |
| Minimum Tank Size | 20 Gallon |
| Reef Compatibility | Reef safe. A peaceful algae grazer, safe with corals and invertebrates. |
Behavior
Peaceful, shy and hopping — it spends its time picking algae film from the rock. Good for nano and reef tanks, though it may squabble with other blennies over territory. Provide rockwork with small holes to retreat into.
Diet & Feeding
Marine algae and film, plus mysis, enriched brine and prepared herbivore foods. A mature tank with algae film helps it settle.
Cautions
Can be territorial toward other bottom-dwelling blennies and gobies.
