Sailfin Blenny Fiji Exallias brevis

Sailfin Blenny Fiji Exallias brevis

  The Sailfin Blenny likes to perch on live rock, find a hiding spot in caves, and hop across the sand or substrate at the bottom of the tank. They do especially well in larger marine tanks and prefer a bonded pair tankmate. Pairs of these blennies can be kept sustainably in medium- or smaller-sized aquariums. When introduced individually, they prefer a larger swimming space and a more spacious environment.
