[Nemoose]

ANybody know anything about this blenny. My LFS has one and it would be a nice colorful additon to my reef. Would I have any problems with the bite when I am doing tank maintenance?

and yes it is well covered. Softy corals: GSP, xenia, cabbage leather.

Forget to mention it does have a venomous bite. I was just wondering how agressive it is and what are the chances of getting bitten just doing random cleaning etc?

I have owned a smith's fang blenny. Great fish. It never showed any aggression and other fish don't dare mess with it. I have my hands in the tank all the time and it never tried to bite me. I heard the bite is like a bee sting. Can't imagine it being worse than a Lionfish.
