Yellowtail Black Blenny
Yellowtail Black Blenny, Ecsenius namiyei, is a Taiwanese native who adds personality to home aquarium as it darts from perch to perch on Live Rock. Also known as the Black Comb Tooth, this Blenny is useful in the control of micro algae as it is part of their diet. Though Blennies are territorial by nature, housing multiple Yellowtail Black Blennies and/or other types of Blennies can be attempted in larger aquariums that can afford numerous hiding places. Peaceful to all other species with the possible exception of extremely small gobies, the Yellowtail Black Blenny is a completely reef safe, as far as corals, and has only had s few reports of possible tampering with extremely small inverts. It will likely readily accept most food types including frozen or live shrimp (Brine Shrimp or Mysis Shrimp), but herbivorous meals of spirulina or seaweed sheets should also be provided for this distinctive aquarium addition.
Approximate Arrival Size for Yellowtail Black Blenny: 1" to 3"
