Frank Hunter –
The blenny has been in my 30-gallon reef tank for three months. It’s active and curious, and doesn’t seem to harm the corals. I appreciate its color and movement. Only needs occasional feeding and stays calm with other fish.
Sonia Hardacre –
It’s a good addition to my tank. I noticed it defends its space near the rockwork. Feeding once a day is enough. Works well with my other mid-sized fish.
Lucas Jackson –
Very active and colorful. The size fits well in my 24-gallon tank. I’ve seen it dart between crevices and interact with the live rock. No issues with coral or other tank mates so far.
