Description
The Chevron Blenny is a hardy and attractive saltwater fish known for its distinctive chevron-like markings. It is primarily an herbivore, grazing on algae, and requires a mature tank with ample live rock for hiding and foraging. While generally peaceful, it can be territorial towards other blennies or similar-shaped fish.
