It is still smallish, maybe 2", iirc they grow to 3.1".
Used to hide for a week or more, never knew if it was still alive so would only put food in the tank when I'd see it, about once a week.
It is very capable of feeding off of the bio-film but I suspect the lack of additional feedings may have slowed it's growth.
The addition of a ORA yellow assessor as a dither fish helped and I increased feedings to twice a week. That's another cryptic little fish which I rarely see eat more then three or four frozen brine shrimp per feeding if that! Surprised it's still alive and doing well. I see it out in the open early morning in ambient light prior to lights on and at night after lights out. Must be eating something during those times that it's still healthy looking. It barely to never ate while in the QT for 14days/straight copper sulfate.
Since a recent clownfish addition I've been feeding every to every other day, and seeing the little blenny on a daily basis.
Very cool little fish! Haven't seen them pop up on LA DD in quite some time and hope ORA will continue working with them.

I have had mine from ORA going on 18 months. Its personality is quite the opposite of maximus' and marc's.
It is always out swimming in the open water or perched on the rockwork. swims at the surface every night around feeding time and has no quams about fighting for food with two clowns.
still nips at SPS corals, have tried a few here and there which all got moved to another tank.
a great little fish!

Yeah ORA has a very weird distribution. I haven't seen any of these on DD in ages (looking out for one).
Thanks!

Let's trade!:rollface:
Wait, it picks on sps? Strange, mine has never picked on any coral.
