Bicolor Blenny

Ecsenius bicolor

Origin: Indo-Pacific

Reef Safe: Yes.
Whether or not a fish is "Reef Safe" simply refers to the fish's likelihood of eating corals clams, or invertebrates. If you're not keeping any of those than having a fish that is not reef safe might be perfectly fine for you! For those that do however should watch out, any fish marked as not being reef safe might end up eating all your corals.

Jumper: Common jumper
A fish referred to as a "jumper" is one which might take large leaps out of the surface of your water on occasion. In order to house a fish known for jumping you need to ensure that your tank is completely covered or else your fish might go "carpet surfing" and be out of luck.

Max Size: 4

Reccomended Tank Size: 30 gallons.

Temperature range: 78F-84F

Description:
The Bicolor Blenny has an elongated body with the anterior colored in dark purple and the posterior in yellow to orange. They have long straight cirri. These little fish have tons of personality and love to find a favorite spot in the aquarium to call home. They will often use rock crevices, caves, and empty barnacles to hide their body and allow their head to poke out to keep an eye on what's going on. They love to graze on algae throughout the aquarium and will often experience "pale patches" on their face and body when lights are first turned on. The Bicolor Blenny should not be mixed with other Blennies in small tanks. They are great for reef tanks and will accept most fish foods.

Temperament:
The Bicolor Blenny likes plenty of rocks to perch upon and hide behind. Whether or not this Blenny is a good tank mate depends on who you talk to. Some people think that it gets along with everything in a tank, others think it doesn't. Keeping this fish well fed should eliminate the need for it to consume invertebrates.""""
