Care notes
Small, peaceful blenny with distinctive black tail spot. Less aggressive than many Ecsenius. Perches on rocks. Helps with algae control on a small scale.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
