Description

A small combtooth blenny with a striking two-tone body, the front half dark blue to brown, the rear half bright orange-yellow, and large expressive eyes set on a blunt head. It perches on rock and hops from ledge to ledge, grazing film and filamentous algae, and is generally peaceful but territorial toward other blennies, gobies and dartfish in small tanks. Provide at least 30 gallons with abundant live rock, crevices and holes for hiding, feed algae-based foods regularly, and use a tight-fitting lid since it will jump.
