Acanthemblemaria is a genus of small, often colorful blennies found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean. These fish are known for their unique behavior of living in abandoned worm tubes or crevices on coral reefs. They are territorial and often seen poking their heads out of their homes, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. Hobbyists appreciate them for their personality and their ability to adapt to life in a well-established reef tank with plenty of hiding places.
