Labrisomidae, commonly known as Labrisomid Blennies, are a family of marine fish found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean regions. They are characterized by their elongated bodies, continuous dorsal fins, and often vibrant colors and patterns. These blennies are benthic, meaning they spend most of their time on or near the substrate. They are generally small, making them suitable for nano and medium-sized reef aquariums. Hobbyists appreciate them for their interesting behaviors and compatibility with other peaceful tank inhabitants. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of small invertebrates and algae in the wild, and adapt well to prepared aquarium diets.
