Description
The Twinhorn Blenny is a small, hardy saltwater fish recognized by its distinctive cirri (horn-like appendages) above its eyes and often speckled body. It is an active grazer, perching on rocks and picking at algae and small invertebrates. While generally peaceful with dissimilar tankmates, it can be territorial towards other blennies or fish with similar body shapes.
