Serpent/snake Blenny

[Alyxx]

Anyone have experience with serpent/snake blennies? They seem to be a rarity, or at least down here in the Tampa Bay area. A local whole saler got some in and my boss gave me one of them, they retail for about $60 here. Reef safe?

Here he is in a temp holding tank.

I've been thinking about getting one of these. Any update on this?

Unfortunately I had to give him and my larger fish back to my boss when my centerbrace broke on my big tank. While I had him I had no problems with even clown gobies, he would occasionally chase one the first few days but he didn't seem to mind after a while. Likewise paid no attention to my corals and ate like a pig. I never got to test it but I wouldn't trust him with smaller shrimp. The guy is still doing well to this day at one of my old boss' accounts
