Description
The Spotjaw Blenny is a small, hardy marine fish known for its distinctive red-rimmed eyes and dark body with white spots. It is an excellent algae grazer and spends its time perching on rocks and darting into crevices. This blenny is a good addition to a peaceful reef or fish-only aquarium.
