The Striped Blenny (Meiacanthus grammistes), also known as the Striped Sabre Tooth Blenny, is a striking and hardy marine species famed for its bold horizontal stripes and defensive venomous bite. This reef-compatible fish is a favorite for reef hobbyists seeking personality and contrast.
Every Striped Blenny from TSM Aquatics is fully quarantined and acclimated, ensuring a healthy and stable arrival to your display aquarium.
Care Essentials:
-
Tank Size: Minimum 30 gallons, though 50+ gallons is better for long term stability.
-
Temperament: Generally peaceful, but may defend territory with conspecifics.
-
Diet: Omnivore with a strong preference for meaty foods like mysis, brine shrimp, chopped seafood, and prepared frozen mixes.
-
Reef Compatibility: Compatible with corals and invertebrates. The venomous fangs deter predation but do not harm corals.

-
Behavior: This fish often perches on rock ledges or outcrops and can exhibit curious swimming behavior. Provide hiding crevices and open line of sight.
With its dramatic coloration and reef safe reputation, the Striped Blenny adds both beauty and intrigue to marine aquariums.
