Algae Blennies are herbivorous fish that are great for reef aquaria. They grow to a size of 5” and are voracious algae eaters. Algae Blennies can help with hair and string algae control within all aquaria. While they are a bigger fish they can still be put into tanks as small as 30 gallons. It may occasionally nip at corals but is generally considered a reef-safe fish. What this fish lacks in color, it makes up for through its personality! They are known for their jumping ability, so tank should be fully covered. Please read our LIVESTOCK SHIPPING POLICY carefully before placing your order.
