Genus
Common name: Savannah Blenny
Scientific name: Labrisomus
Labrisomus is a genus of blennies found in the western Atlantic Ocean, often recognized for their elongated bodies and bold behavior. These blennies are known for their adaptability to various microhabitats within the reef, including rock crevices and coral rubble. They exhibit fascinating behaviors such as perching on rocks and interacting with other tank inhabitants. Labrisomus species are omnivorous, feeding on a mix of algae, detritus, and small invertebrates, making them beneficial for controlling algae growth in captivity. Their hardy nature and moderate size make them suitable for most reef aquariums, where they add both character and utility.
