Description
The Floral Blenny (Exallias brevis) is a small, fascinating fish known for its distinct appearance, featuring intricate patterns that resemble coral growths. These camouflage markings help it blend into reef environments, making it a visually intriguing addition to any aquarium. Its peaceful nature and algae-eating habits make it an ideal tank mate for reef setups.
This blenny is a herbivore and will graze on algae, which helps keep aquarium surfaces clean. It thrives in tanks with plenty of live rock and crevices to hide and forage. The Floral Blenny is reef-compatible, peacefully coexisting with corals and other invertebrates, and will avoid nipping at them.
Due to its small size, the Floral Blenny can be kept in nano tanks, making it a popular choice among hobbyists who enjoy smaller, low-maintenance setups. It is easy to care for, provided it has ample algae to graze on or is supplemented with algae-based foods.
