Lawnmower blenny...

Larger herbivores like Tangs may pick on them if there is not an abundance of food sources.

These Blennies are awesome. They will sit on top of SEIO powerheads and watch you and pick algae off the front glass.

Mine eats from the glass , eats marine pellets and brineshrip amd never seen him pick at the corals .

Thanks for all the replies everyone. A LM blenny sounds like a really interesting fish to have. I like to be sure of what I'm putting into a tank this size because of how difficult it may be to catch once he/she is in there.

Thanks again

I love this fish they are very personable and fun to watch. Ours was in a full reef tank and we never had any problems. They do however love to carpet surf (that's how we lost ours and how our friend lost theirs) I would recommend a lid or egg crate cover.

I found it so strange to hear that these fish had the rep of being carpet surfers. The entyire time I had one, I never once saw her jump or even break the surface of the water. Then when I mentioned it at my LFS , I was informed that it was pretty common. Guess it only takes that one jump ....

I've had 2 of them, and they both met the same fate. Carpet surfing.

They're amazing fish to have, so much personality and very active.
I will get another one when I get a canopy for my tank.

At the store I work at the LM blennie is 8-9 years just in the store. The one at the store and in my tank don't do harm to any of the corals. They do nibble on macroalgae though.
