| Scientific Name | Ecsenius bicolor |
Aquarium Suitability: Generally Durable and Hardy
Diet: Herbivorous; primarily feeds on algae. Supplement with vegetable-based foods like nori, spirulina flakes, or herbivore pellets if natural algae growth is insufficient.
Reef Safe: Yes
Captive Care: The Bicolor Blenny is an easy-to-care-for species suitable for beginner to intermediate hobbyists in reef setups. Provide plenty of live rock for grazing, perching, and hiding to mimic their natural habitat. It may occasionally nibble on soft corals, so monitor in tanks with delicate specimens. Quarantine new specimens for 2–4 weeks to prevent parasitic infections like ich.
