The Midas Blenny is a legendary favorite in the reef hobby, prized for its stunning golden-orange hue and incredible personality. Unlike many other blennies that spend their time perched on rocks, the Midas Blenny is an active open-water swimmer with a graceful, eel-like motion. In the "Answering Machine" era of saltwater husbandry, this species is highly valued for its "social" behavior—it often mimics and swims alongside Anthias or other schooling fish, adding a unique dynamic to the mid-water column.
With its deep blue eyes and a permanent "smile," the Midas Blenny is as charismatic as it is beautiful. It typically claims a favorite bolt-hole in the rockwork, where it will reverse into its home and watch the aquarium with keen interest. This is a high-impact specimen that brings both bright color and constant entertainment to any established reef.

Quick Specs
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Minimum Tank Size: 30 Gallons
Diet: Omnivore
Reef Compatible: Yes
Max Size: 6 Inches
Water Conditions: 72-78°F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.020-1.025
Husbandry Notes The Midas Blenny is an omnivore and requires a varied diet to maintain its brilliant coloration. Provide a mix of meaty foods like mysis and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp along with high-quality spirulina or algae-based preparations. While generally peaceful, they may show territorial behavior toward other blennies with similar body shapes in smaller tanks. They require plenty of rockwork with various holes and crevices to use as retreats. As with most blennies, a secure lid is recommended as they can jump when startled.
