Description
The Whitedotted Blenny is a hardy and attractive marine fish known for its dark body covered in numerous small white or blue dots. It is an excellent algae grazer, making it a beneficial addition to a mature reef or fish-only saltwater aquarium. This blenny is generally peaceful but can be territorial towards other bottom-dwellers or blennies.
