Description
The Namiye's Combtooth Blenny is a striking marine fish characterized by its dark body and vibrant yellow caudal fin. It is a hardy and active grazer, spending its time perching on live rock and consuming algae and detritus. This blenny is a great addition to a mature reef or fish-only-with-live-rock aquarium, providing both color and utility.
