Overview
The Orange Spotted Blenny is a long, slender-bodied white fish covered in either orange or reddish spots, hence it's name. It will do well in a tank with a lot of rock, as it will spend most of it's time on the rocks. It may nip at stony coral or the mantles of clams. You should keep only one per tank unless you have a mated pair, but it shouldn't be aggressive towards other species of fish, aside from other blennies.
The tank should have well established micro algae for it to eat, supplemented with other vegetable matter and commercial herbivore foods.
