Reef Safe

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.
