Description

The Tricolor Coral Blenny (*Ecsenius trilineatus*) is a small, reef-safe blenny known for its distinctive dark anterior and bright yellow posterior, often with a white lateral stripe. It is a peaceful grazer that primarily feeds on algae, making it a valuable addition to a mature saltwater aquarium. This charming fish enjoys perching on live rock and observing its surroundings.
