Description

The Comical Blenny is a small, peaceful saltwater fish known for its distinctive pattern of reddish-brown squares along its body. It is an excellent algae grazer and spends its time perching on live rock, darting around, and sifting through the substrate. This blenny adds character and utility to a reef or fish-only aquarium.
