Description
The Striped Blenny is a charming and entertaining saltwater fish species known for its unique personality and vibrant striped pattern. Its body is elongated and slender, adorned with alternating black and white stripes that span the length of its body. This fish is a popular choice for aquarists due to its relatively easy care requirements and peaceful nature.
Reef Safe
Yes, Striped Blennies are considered reef safe and can coexist with most invertebrates and corals.
Environment
Striped Blennies prefer a well-decorated aquarium with plenty of hiding spots. They appreciate a tank with a lot of live rock for hiding and hunting. They can adapt to a variety of saltwater conditions but do best in stable, well-maintained tanks.
Behavior
Striped Blennies are generally peaceful and tend to be quite shy. They are known for their interesting behavior of "hopping" along the substrate in the tank. They also have a unique defense mechanism, a venomous bite, which they use only for self-defense.

Amazing fish. Loves to swim and sometimes pick at rocks. I See him swimming around a lot but if spooked will hide. Beautiful corals. Does have a venomous bite.

This is one of my favorite fish, they have such great color and it’s always out swimming around but not aggressive to its tank mates.
