About
Ecsenius stigmatura — the tailspot blenny — is a small, personable blenny with a distinctive dark tail spot. It perches on rocks and grazes constantly on filamentous algae and microalgae films. Blennies are personality fish — they develop individual quirks and often interact with the aquarist. The tailspot is one of the most popular blenny species due to its manageable size, reef-safe status, and entertaining behaviour.
