Lenny: Bicolor Blenny

Bicolor Blenny

Bicolor Blenny

Kaizen Reef name: Lenny
Common name: Bicolor blenny
Scientific name: Ecsenius bicolor

Physical description: Interesting fact about these fish is that they camouflage and change their colours at will. Relaxed colouration is purple front and orange (or yellow) back end down to the tail. Ours sleeps in a hole under the anemone and changes to match her colouration. When he is in algae he will give himself white spots or lines.

Diet: Everything. Tank algae on equipment, glass, rocks. Meaty foods like mysis, brine shrimp and krill.

Important dates:
11/14/09: Added to the tank
1/17/10: Returned to fish store (the lawnmower blenny got sick and the bicolor blenny would not leave him alone, unfortunately we have no quarantine tank at this time so Lenny had to be returned)

Personal notes: Lenny is an amazing fish. He is very peaceful, eats everything, swims around, doesn’t hide in the rocks (his head is always sticking out), perches all over the place, camouflages and has excellent vision.
Update: Very sad to have to return Lenny as he was an excellent, healthy fish. Would recommend this fish to every saltwater reef tank.
Update: Since removing the Bicolor blenny from the tank the Goby no longer has chunks missing from his fins nor do the other fish in the tank. It turns out the bicolor blenny was nipping all our fish and damaging their fins. Add to your tank with caution as they can be quite territorial.

Goby One Kenobi: Green Clown Goby

Goby in the corals March 2010

Clown Goby

Goby November 2009

Kaizen Reef name: Goby One Kenobi (aka Goby or Gobster)
Common name: Green clown goby, coral goby, warpaint goby
Scientific name: Gobiodon atrangulatus

Physical description: small, green with purple spotted lines and purple stripes

Diet: When acclimatizing to the tank he only ate the small critters off the rocks. After about 3-4 weeks he started eating frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp and krill and also loves flake foods as well.

Important dates:
11/14/09: Added to the tank

Personal notes: He likes to perch in the rocks. We have not seen him eat the main fish food yet but he looks healthy so we are assuming he is eating the live creatures off the rocks.
Update Took this fish longer than others to acclimatize to our system. We added some corals to the area he favours and he now spends a lot of time in the corals (he is after all a coral goby).
