Zebra Tail Blenny = WRONG ID

[wakerider017]

So this fish on your site is listed as a Zebra Tail Blenny. It is actually a Seaweed Blenny.


I've got two in my tank. The little one gets bullied a lot!
More info on them here: http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/gallery/Descript/SeaweedBlenny/SeaweedBlenny.html

Colors can vary a LOT.

Good observation....but I think they should be called a rock blenny, as they are in the rocks when I unload them..and hop out.......in fact got another one today diving for rock.... about 1.5 inch long...neat critters!

Lol yup I agree! The guy in my tank is nearly 3"!! Plus a little one just over 1".

Didn't really particularly want these fish in my tank, but I must admit they have a lot of personality!

The big one looks like it has a marble in his stomach.. Never misses a meal, whether it is frozen, flake or nori.. Lol

Just wondering why don't you really want them in your tank. They seem like a neat gift to get from you're live rock? Do they harm things in any way?

Looks like a Zebratail to me. Richard would know if it was flopping around on the bottom of his boat. They have a distinctive white striped or spotted tail. They are common on some of the artificial reefs and in rocky bottom here on the gulf side.
