Black Sailfin Blenny

This blenny is an herbivore and can help in controlling algae growth. They like to perch on rocks or substrate. It requires a well-established tank of at least 30 gallons or larger with plenty of scattered rocks for perching and hiding, and live rock with microalgae growth on which to feed. This species is an ideal fish to consume hair or string algae in the marine aquarium. The Black Sailfin Blenny may nip at some small-polyped stony corals and clam mantles. It is an herbivore and should be feed foods such as Spirulina, marine algae and frozen herbivore prepared foods.
