Was thinking of putting a jewled blenny in my nano reef. I know they can get about 4.5in, but if I get a small one maybee he wont get too big. Would like a good herbivore (sp?) fish, but something small! Also I have seen them at LFS and they move aggressivly aroung the tank. Could possibly knock small softies (xenia) off of their little area? Options ?
