Description
The Bluegold Glass Blenny is a tiny, cryptic marine fish known for its translucent body and habit of perching within coral polyps. It's a peaceful and fascinating addition to nano and reef aquariums, primarily grazing on microalgae and small benthic invertebrates. While generally peaceful, it can be territorial towards similar-looking blennies or gobies.
