It is most likely to thrive in aquariums if it is provided with live rock in a 10 gallon or greater aquarium. Live rock offers spots to hunt and eat small crustaceans, as well as areas to conceal. It's not typically aggressive unless tankmates have the same shape as it does. The fangs of the White Blenny Smith are for biting an aggressive fish.
The Smith's Blenny diet is comprised of chopped crustaceans and vitamin-rich brine shrimp and frozen food preparations designed for herbivores.
