Blenniella chrysospilos

Blenniella chrysospilos, commonly known as the Red-spotted blenny, is a small/medium blenny. These blennies are one of the most colourful blennies around. Their colour depends on the origin. Their base colour ranges from pure white to greyish, with small and large, usually red spots, but sometimes these are more orange or brownish.  Some fish have interrupted horizontal stripes on their body as well.

These fish inhabit shallow reefs where they live solitary in algae rich areas. In an aquarium they're reef safe and a very good algae eater. They're quite territorial though, so best place them as one of the last fishes in the tank and only in a tank big enough to form a territory and leave room for the other fishes. Don't combine them with other blennies, unless you've a very large tank with many hiding spots. They feed mainly on algae and if there is little algae in the tank high quality algae flakes or pellets should be supplemented!
