Scooter Blenny - Synchiropus ocellatus

The Scooter Blenny is a fascinating addition to any aquarium. Not only is it visually appealing, but it also helps maintain your sand by sifting through it for food.

Scooter Blennies grow to a maximum of just over 3 inches and can thrive in tanks as small as 40 gallons. They are peaceful and reef-safe, coexisting well with corals, fish, and invertebrates. If you plan to keep multiple Scooter Blennies together, introduce them to the tank simultaneously.

These fish display a mix of brown, tan, and orange hues. Males are distinguished by their brighter colors and longer dorsal fins compared to females.

Scooter Blennies spend their days searching the sand bed for food, which helps keep the sand clean but may create bare spots. They require plenty of rocks for hiding to feel secure. As carnivores, they need a diet rich in meaty foods like brine and mysis shrimp.
