The Klausewitz’s Blenny is also known as the Linear blenny, and is most commonly found in shallow reef areas usually along coastlines. This fish is best kept in a reef tank with plenty of live rock to graze upon, as it prefers algae as a source of food. It will eat marine flake foods and frozen shrimp in addition to herbivore specific food. These fish are generally considered to be a model citizen in the home reef tank.
