Care guide at a glance
Salarias ramosus
Description
A mottled blenny speckled with fine pale stars, perching on rock and grazing algae. Full of character, and dependent on there being algae to eat.
Feeding
Grazes filamentous algae from rock and glass. Once the tank is clean it must be fed - dried algae sheets, spirulina pellets and vegetable-based frozen foods.
Compatibility
Reef safe and peaceful toward other species, territorial with other blennies. One per tank unless it is large.
Behaviour and personality
Perches on rock and glass propped on its pectoral fins, hopping between vantage points and scanning constantly.
Before you buy
Same warning as the standard algae blenny: it clears the algae it was bought for, then slowly starves in a spotless tank. Plan to feed it deliberately, and add only to a mature system.
