Bicolor Blenny

Bicolor Blenny

The Bicolor Blenny (Ecsenius bicolor), is famous (among true hobbyists anyways) for its charming and quirky personality; it spends its days perching on rocks, darting around, and comically looking at its surroundings. The Bicolor Blenny is also a valuable algae eater and will spend its time grazing on nuisance algae, making it a great addition for tank maintenance. It's a fantastic choice for both beginner and intermediate hobbyists due to its hardiness and peaceful nature. Francis Day from Britain gets the prize for discovering the bicolor blenny in 1888.
