The ORA® Captive-Bred Smith's Blenny is also known as White's Blenny, White Blenny, Smith's Fang Blenny, or Disco Blenny. The body of the animal is blue, with stripes of black that begin at the chin and extends through the eye as well as down towards the dorsal fin. It can be a great addition in aquariums when it is paired with live rocks in a 30 gallon or larger tank. Live rock offers areas to hunt and feed on small crustaceans and areas to conceal. It's not typically aggressive unless tankmates have the same shape as it does. The fangs are defense mechanism to bite an aggressive fish.   The ORA® Captive-Bred Smith's Blenny should be fed a balanced diet consisting of herbivore-friendly prepared foods. The fish should be fed small portions of food multiple times per day. They are carnivores.   Approximate Purchase Size: 1-1/4" to 2"
