About this item

Flametail Blenny

Flametail Blenny (Cirripectes sp.) is a highly active reef fish known for its algae-grazing behavior and distinctive red-orange tail. Constantly moving across rockwork, this species helps control film algae while adding natural movement and personality to the aquarium.

With its perching and hopping behavior, the Flametail Blenny interacts closely with the aquascape, making it both functional and entertaining. It spends much of its time grazing on surfaces, contributing to a cleaner, more balanced system while remaining reef-safe and compatible with most peaceful tankmates.
