|  New Addition! Starry Blenny!
Wasn't planing on coming home with a fish, but this little guy caught my eye!    
Sorry about the low quality pics...I haven't mastered the aqaurium photography yet... 
I'll bug my GF into taking some better ones tomorrow when the MH's & Actinics are on!
Its a great little fish so far! A ton of personality, and very active. He started munching on algae within a few minutes of going in the tank! _________ 36 Gallon Bowfront Mixed Reef Tank

Keep a good eye on that little sucker. If that's a true starry blenny, they are know to become coral eaters! | |

I have had mine for at least 4 months and haven't noticed anything. If so what can they munch on? Nice purchase Ryan I love mine. | |

From what I've read, yes, "true" starry blennies may nip at corals. Because of this, I've never gotten one so I'm not speaking from experience so take that info for what it's worth. It's quite likely that what you've got is not a "real" starry blenny or is a very well behaved one  | |

Well they go by two names starry blenny and snowflake blenny. I have exactly what every picture I have seen of this little guy looks like. I was just wondering if there is a paticular coral I should stray from buying in the future. As for now he is great !  | |

Again, I'm only going by what I've read and we all know how accurate stuff on the internet can be sometimes  | |
