As title says, looking for anyone with experience with Spinyhead blennies. LFS has several and they are interesting to me. I'm mainly concerned about diet because they are a very small fish with a small mouth, so thinking they may be along the lines of a scooter blenny in feeding. But that is just me guessing, any input appreciated!
 
Posted earlier as I left the LFS. I think the one I wanted was actually a Sailfin Blenny, Emblemaria pandionis, looks like they had a mixture in the tank. There was no Sailfin blenny labeled... maybe I'll stop back by tomorrow. Both species look interesting. Here's some stock pictures of each species.. I'll let yall guess which is the sailfin!

I have kept spiny head blennies. I bought one for my pico build and are great little fish. they are small however feeding is tricky as they have small mouths. I use daphnia as its food as they are a tiny little food source
