Bicolor Blennies have a striking pattern of half yellow/orange and half brownish purple. They like to dart in and out of rockwork and spend most of their time perching or picking at rock and substrate for algae. Like all Blennies, they are best kept singly unless a male and female can be obtained. Avoid having more than one blenny in tanks smaller than 100 gallons as they will be territorial and fight. Though they are usually left alone by most tank inhabitants, they will harass many gobies and dartfish...

Although it may occasionally nip at select LPS and SPS corals the Bicolor Blenny rarely causes any real damage to corals or invertebrates. Providing plenty of live rock with microalgae for it to graze on should keep its belly full and help it avoid bothering any corals.
