Vids of Tube Blennies

[Sigmund]

First time posting videos, hope I did it right.

Some of my favorite reef fish I have had over the years are tube blennies. Included in this post are vids of my Carribean Sailfin Blenny that I have in my Nano Tank, and my YellowFace Pike Blenny in my 150 gallon Reef.

Sushi4u,

Agree on the personality. What these guys do not have in size and colors they make up for with interesting behavior and attitude.

I love these guys. I also think they are very attractive. They may not be gaudy, but they are attractive.

That's cool...I have never seen a tube blennie, what is the tube that they live in?

The Pike Benny is in an abandoned coco worm tube. The sailfish is in a coral skeleton that I drilled a 4 inch hole in about the diameter of a pencil. The coco worm tubes tend to work the best. I also have some small barnacle clusters, plus they will find natural holes in the live rock.

I always look for these abandoned tubes when I am at LFS as I never have enough with all the little bennies I have. Stores will sell them for just a dollar or two If you can find them as they generally have little value once the coco worm is gone.
