Description
The Midas Combtooth Blenny is a striking and active saltwater fish, known for its vibrant golden-yellow body that often transitions to a blue or purple hue towards the tail. It is a popular reef-safe inhabitant that enjoys perching on rocks and darting through the water column. This blenny is an omnivore, feeding on both zooplankton and algae.
