It is a slow-moving, bottom-dwelling species that constantly grazes on copepods in the sand and rockwork. Only suitable for mature reef systems with a healthy microfauna population, as starvation is a common risk in new tanks. Provide plenty of live rock and open sand areas to allow natural foraging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Like It:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpectacular colouration and unique foraging behaviour make the Flame Scooter Blenny a favourite for reef enthusiasts.
