About Bicolor Blenny
The bicolor blenny, also known as the Two-colored Blenny, is a good addition to a reef aquarium. Males have larger bodies than females. In addition, both females and males will experience successive changes in body color, including when breeding. The bicolor blenny is known as a peaceful tank fish, but sometimes it turns aggressive and can prey on other blenny, arrow, and smaller fish.
