Description
The Quillfin Blenny is a small, hardy saltwater fish known for its distinctive mottled brown and red coloration and cirri on its head. It is an active grazer, spending its time perching on rocks and picking at algae. This blenny is a great addition to a mature reef or fish-only aquarium.
