Red Crown blenny size?

[Adrienne7811]

Does anyone know what the max size is for a red crown blenny? I have had one in my 125 gallon reef for about 6 months, and he is doing great, I researched him before buying and was able to find care requirements, etc, but could never find the maximum size. He is listed as an Ecsenius species, so I don't know if the others in that genus are a good indicator of size or not.

Does anyone else have one of these? He is probably around 2 inches or a little less right now, and I am hoping he will get a bit bigger. He has grown some since I got him, and is one of my favorite fish, he has such a cute personality!

So I guess nobody else has one of these? Is there another common name for them I don't know about? The closest I can get to the scientific name is the genus, like I said, but maybe it is known by another name I haven't heard of.

Adrienne,
I have not seen that name before but my best guess from research I have done would be between 3 to 5 inches in length. Since you posted this in 2010 you may now already know the max size. How big did your Benny eventually grow?
Thanks
