William Rees –
I bought the Lizard Blenny for my 24-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s very active but not aggressive. It doesn’t bother the corals and stays in the lower areas. Easy to care for and fits well in the tank. I’m happy with the purchase.

The blenny arrived quickly and looks healthy. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe. A good addition to a small tank with a mix of corals.

As a beginner, I was worried about compatibility. This fish is calm and doesn’t stress the tank mates. It’s a great choice for a small reef setup. I’ve seen it foraging near the substrate and it’s very active without being disruptive.
