These qualities make the Harptail Blenny an ideal candidate for any reef tank.
The Harptail Blenny is a hardy and resilient species, as evidenced by its venomous fangs and ability to survive predation. This species is relatively easy to care for, requiring only a minimum tank of 30 gallons or larger, with live rock for grazing. It is a passive fish, which rarely bothers other tankmates, making it an ideal candidate for a community tank. With proper care, these fish can live up to five years or more in an aquarium. Moreover, the Harptail Blenny is a great addition to any home aquarium and can bring a lot of joy to the hobbyist.
