Genus

Common name: Bluestriped Fangblenny

Scientific name: Petroscirtes

Petroscirtes is a genus of combtooth blennies found in coral reefs and rocky coastal areas. These fish are known for their elongated bodies, distinctive color patterns, and the fang-like canines they possess. They are opportunistic feeders, often nipping at the fins of larger fish or consuming various small invertebrates. In the aquarium, they require plenty of hiding spaces and a diet that includes meaty foods. They can be territorial, so careful consideration is needed when adding them to a community tank.
