Midas Blenny
Ecsenius midas
Origin: Indo-Pacific – Red Sea to South Africa, across to the Maldives, Indonesia, and Samoa
Size: Up to 13 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Omnivore – feeds on zooplankton and algae; accepts frozen mysis, brine, and quality marine pellets.
Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Aggression: Peaceful – may become territorial with similar-shaped blennies.
Captive-Bred Available: ❌ No
Notes:
The Midas Blenny is a slender, eel-like species that swims gracefully in open water, unlike most rock-perching blennies. It displays brilliant golden-yellow colouration, sometimes shifting to deeper orange or blue hues depending on mood and environment. Best kept in a tank with rockwork for retreat and open space for swimming. Generally peaceful, though it may chase other blennies or fish with a similar body shape.
Why We Like It:
The Midas Blenny combines elegance, personality, and colour in a single package. Its golden body and playful swimming behaviour make it a standout fish that brings constant activity and charm to the mid-water levels of a reef tank.
