General information regarding Harptail Blenny
They are excellent for reef tanks and able to take on most aquarium fish foods. The Blenny Family is commonly confused with the Goby family. The Blennies are distinct by their single dorsal fin, and the tendency to rest on the bottom of their tanks with their bodies curved. The majority of these fish have tiny appendages at the upper part of their head, referred to as "cirri". Certain Blennies are found in tidal waters in which the waters are cool and shallow. They possess an amazing leaping ability and can be seen jumping from pool to pool. Additionally, Blennies can be found in caves and crevices on coral reefs. They have heads that are blunt and teeth that are combed, which gives them the ability to scrape algae, their main food source off rocks surface.
