Description
The Starry Blenny is a saltwater fish that is well-known for its unique appearance and behavior. It has a long, slender body with a starry pattern consisting of numerous tiny white spots over a dark brown to black base color. The Starry Blenny is a bottom dweller and often found perched on live rock or hiding in crevices within the reef in their natural habitat.
Reef Safe
Yes
Environment
Starry Blennies are reef safe and require a tank with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. They also prefer a tank with a tight-fitting lid, as they are known to be jumpers.
Behavior
Starry Blennies are peaceful and solitary creatures. They are not particularly social, but they will tolerate other species. They are known to be territorial with their own kind, so it is best to keep only one per tank unless it's a mated pair. They have a unique behavior of imitating a cleaner wrasse to get close to predators.

Typical goofy blenny. Perches and often sits inside random holes; will actively peck at rocks and glass to eat surface algae, but doesn’t chew down on it like some other blennies. Some specimens have an especially attractive two-tone appearance with a rust-colored back half of the body and tail.

Hard to get white fish in the hobby so this is a fish I highly recommend if you can find it. Similar behavior to other fang blennies; always out and about in the water column and I have not experienced any aggression. Can be jumpy so a lid is a necessity.

Lot of personality. Mine dug a burrow, which doesn't seem like typical behavior. He'll come out and pick at the rocks and then dart back in his burrow. He is still visible in his burrow. He sticks his head out like a goby! Good at keeping the rocks clean too! They can be aggressive to smaller fish and more docile fish.

Mine never had as much of a personality as other types of blennies, but they’ll keep your rock work and back glass clean while looking pretty unique.

One of my favorite fish ! It’s always out and about and has an awesome personality . Added benefit of annihilating hair algae as well !

Disco Blennys are very sociable fish with very odd behaviors
