Red Scooter Blenny - S Istiblennius chrysospilos
An appealing fish that requires condition similar to the shallow reefs and tidepools where it naturally occurs. It should only be kept in a well-established tank with sufficient light and nutrients to sustain an ongoing supply of microalgae growth. It spends its time in repose on the substrate, hopping from one spot to another. Usually not bothered by its tankmates, with the possible exception of predatory species Keep only one specimen per tank, unless a male-female pair is acquired. An occasional specimen may nip at stony coral polyps or clam mantles.
Feed vegetable matter, including frozen and dried foods containing marine algae and Spirulina. Usually will not thrive unless a growth of microalgae is present in the aquarium.
