Chestnut Blenny Cirripectes stigmaticus

Chestnut Blenny - Cirripectes stigmaticus

    The Chestnut Blenny is also known as the Ember Blenny, or red-streaked blenny. Males are generally larger in size than their female counterparts and experience succession of color changes when they are hiding and breeding. The Chestnut Blenny can be typically found in microalgae or live rock on which they like to feed. Food requirements are a meaty diet including mysis, chopped crustacean flesh, and enriched brine-shrimp with vitamins. If you plan to house more than one Chestnut Blenny in your system, it is recommended to acclimate them one at a time. Otherwise, aggression between the two may occur.
