• The **Ember Blenny** is a fascinating and distinctive fish. With a predominantly red body accented by tan markings, the male **Ember Blenny** is more vibrant and larger than the female. These fish grow up to 5 inches and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, **Ember Blennies** are ideal for reef aquariums as they coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, they can be territorial towards other **Ember Blennies**, so it's best to introduce them simultaneously if keeping multiples. They thrive in tanks with ample live rock, which offers hiding spots and resting areas. A diet rich in algae and meaty foods like nori, algae sheets, mysis, and brine shrimp is essential for their health.
