Description

The Smallspotted Combtooth Blenny is a small, peaceful saltwater fish known for its distinctive dark spot at the base of its tail. It is an excellent algae grazer, spending its time perching on rocks and darting around its territory. This blenny requires a mature reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding.
