The Scooter Blenny, actually a member of the Dragonet family, is a bottom-dwelling favorite known for its unique "scooting" motion across the substrate. Featuring a mottled brown and white camouflage pattern with large, expressive eyes, this fish is a master of blending into the reef rubble. In the "Answering Machine" era of saltwater husbandry, the Scooter Blenny is highly valued for its personality and its role as a micro-predator, constantly hunting for copepods and amphipods among the rockwork.
While they lack the psychedelic colors of the Mandarin Dragonet, Scooter Blennies make up for it with their bold, inquisitive nature. They are peaceful, fascinating to watch, and add a layer of biological complexity to the lower levels of a mature marine system.

Quick Specs
Care Level: Moderate (due to feeding requirements)
Temperament: Peaceful
Minimum Tank Size: 30 Gallons
Diet: Carnivore
Reef Compatible: Yes
Max Size: 3 Inches
Water Conditions: 72-78°F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.020-1.025
Husbandry Notes The primary challenge with Scooter Blennies is their specialized diet. They are constant hunters that rely heavily on a natural population of copepods within the aquarium. For long-term success, they should be introduced to an established system with plenty of live rock. While some individuals can be transitioned to frozen mysis or cyclops, supplementing with live copepods is highly recommended. They are peaceful toward most tank mates but may be territorial toward other Dragonets unless the tank is large enough to provide separate hunting grounds.
