Harptail Blenny

Does anyone have experience with these blenny's?

I'm wondering if multiples can be housed together in a 75gal mixed reef?

In my experience Meiacanthus species aren't very social in aquaria that size.

@eatbreakfast, when you say "aren't very social", do you mean that they don't interact with one another or that they become aggressive towards each other? I'm not really looking for a "schooling" fish as much as I really like the little guys and wouldn't mind having 3 or 4, even if they keep to their respective homes.

In most cases, one will pick on the other, to the subordinates demise. On some occasions they will pr, but in most cases you will just be left with one.

That's what I was afraid you were saying. Looks like I'll stick to one of these. I appreciate the feedback.
