Red Scooter Blenny-Synchiropus stellatus

The Red Scooter Dragonet is a captivating and distinctive fish, showcasing a predominantly red body adorned with white patterns and a prominent dorsal fin. These dragonets can grow up to 3 inches and require a minimum tank size of 29 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, they generally coexist well with other marine life, though they may occasionally interact with other dragonets. For those considering multiple Red Scooter Dragonets, a larger tank is advisable. They are ideal for reef tanks as they do not disturb other fish, corals, or invertebrates. Due to their non-aggressive feeding habits, it's best to house them with non-competitive feeders.

These dragonets thrive in tanks with ample live rock and sand, spending their time foraging for small invertebrates. As carnivores, their diet should include meaty foods like mysis and brine shrimp, live feed shrimp, and small seafood pieces. A refugium can also provide a steady supply of live food.
