Easy to set up and very calm in the tank. I kept it with a few corals and it didn’t cause any damage. It’s a great addition for a small reef tank and fits well with the environment.

The blenny is active and peaceful. I noticed it occasionally brushes against a soft coral, but it didn’t harm it. Works well in a 10-gallon tank with a balanced setup.

Perfect for beginners. It’s small, doesn’t stress other fish, and stays in one area. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving.
