Genus
Common name: Rockskipper Blenny
Scientific name: Ophioblennius
Ophioblennius is a genus of blennies known for their distinctive behavior of skipping across rocks and their ability to graze on algae. These fish are characterized by their comb-like teeth, which are well-suited for scraping off algae from hard surfaces. They are often found in shallow, rocky coastal areas and are known for their hardiness and adaptability in the aquarium setting. Rockskipper blennies can be territorial and should be provided with ample rockwork to establish their own space.
