pic of my Starry Blenny amongst the clams

[Paul_N]

He always seems to enjoy hanging out around the clams. In my old 75 gallon he used to lay on the mantel of the large maxima.

Nice picture Paul. I assume the clams don't mind him playing around anymore. Did they close up when he first started laying on them?

I just got a starry blenny a few weeks ago and he is a great addition to my tank! He is always hiding somewhere and spying. Great shot!

I must be blind I don't see him.

Haha, he's right above the middle clam, kinda mid center of the picture as a whole

Dont feel bad....i thought i was playing Where's Waldo too. Great looking pic Paul!!

 

[Paul_N]

Thanks guys. Definitely one of my favorite fish. He would only lay on top of the bigger clam and it never seemed to mind or close up. Kinda looked like he was lounging on a big couch. The other ones he will just put his front fins on and lean on them. They never seem to flinch when he does. I may have a pic on top of the clam. I'll have to see.

 

[VelasCorals]

I still can't find it. I give up.

 

[Paul_N]

Hint: its between the large maxima and the middle one. You can only see the face.

Paul, you might have to upload another picture with him circled for the old guys haha j/k

I love starry blennies, and blennies in general. They just have so much personality. The starry I think is one of the more attractive ones out there too, and really not a bad looking fish at all. Used to have one myself.

Just put a Where's Waldo hat on him LOL

Haha, that would be good. Did you know those books still exist? We just bought one for my 4 year old Maybe Paul can start a "Where's Blenny" book

Great pic Paul! My Lawnmower does the same thing from time to time and the clams just put up with it.

It looks like you have some real nice Maxima's in there too! How big is the big guy?

 

[Paul_N]

The big one is about 10-11" I'm up to (3) maxima and (2) dersa. I'll get a couple crocea and a blue spotted squammy down the road to round out my collection.

Here is another pic of the starry I just took with my phone. The phone was literally lying flat almost touching the surface of the water and the starry was about 2" below the surface. He didn't budge until I stuck my finger in the water and touched his mouth. He nipped at it and moved a couple inches to the side...lol He has red eyes so he can look a little possessed at times...:xd:

 

[Paul_N]

A couple more. The second one looks like he is laying on one clam and using the mantle of the other as a blanket.

 

[dougers31]

Am thinking about getting one of those... do they have any special requirements, and how big do they get?

 

[MimicOcto8]

lol took me a min to find the cute guy. are those clams sitting in a flower pot box? is that how you get them to stay put?

 

[Alattner]

thats pretty awesome those are some really neat pictures of that little guy

 

[tinctorus]

I ended up paying 15 bucks for mine since the guy had him labeled as a rock/algae blenny..I just COULD NOT pass up on that deal
