Matt, try looking up Stigmata blenny. The latin is Cirripectes stigmaticus.

Hey Joe, you are a wealth of knowledge!
Whats the deal with these, are they easy to keep, reef safe?
BTW, I still got your cyphastrea frag, I may be able to bring it up on sunday.
Peace, Matt

Here' mine when I had it segregated.

They are very reef safe however are territorial towards other blenny. Mine is strictly a vegitarian. He doesn't even go after Misis or any other fresh food.

 

[mufflerguy]

Was he the first blenny in your tank ?
Do you think he would go after other passive non related species, such as small wrasses, firefish, gobies, etc....?

 

[WayneL333]

No he wasn't. I had a Yellow Highfin Tongan Blenny in there first and yes the did fight. Luckily, my tank was big enough that they both established territories.

The Stigmata Blenny will not bother any of those other fish you listed becasue I have have them in my tank too.

Great, he's going in a 180, so there should be plenty of room.
BTW, are those eyes on the rhomboid in your avatar drawn in?
thanks for the info...

 

[WayneL333]

Nope. Those are his peepers. :eek1:

I've had mine in my SPS tank for about 3 years,and He is totaly reef safe,even with clams.He is always out and about and eats most everything I feed.He is the only blenny in the tank.

lol...I think you were looking at the same website I was that misspelled the name. I just got an email clarifying it. Can you confirm it's a herbivore? Also, any idea how big they get?
