    Well I got one of these, does anyone have insight into their eating/personality habits? I am still fighting a patch of green hair algae, little snails just won't eat it. I know it's not bryopsis just fuzzy. Added phosguard and well I still have algae, I even noticed a dusting of brown algae on my filter intake. I hope this blenny eats algae!

    they can be jumpers... very active fish that eat everything but algae... mine doesn't get along with my Royal Gramma.

    It's an Omnivore and may or may not eat your algae on the rock. Make sure it gets an occasional supplementary feeding of meat.
    btw, I think they are nice looking ;)

    Mine grazes on the back glass, I guess on some kind of algae but eats everything else including seaweed. Awesome fish, looks like a small mahi-mahi.
