Why We Like It:

Despite the common name, the Red Scooter Blenny is actually a dragonet, gliding across rockwork and sand while constantly hunting pods. Its rich red patterning and hovering movement make it a standout in peaceful reef systems. Best suited to mature aquariums with established copepod populations or dedicated feeding support. A fascinating, reef-safe species with loads of personality.
