Why does nobody keep horned blennies?

Just stumbled across these guys. They are adorable!!! They seem to be algae grazers like most blennies, but I've never heard anyone mention them, plus their only $40. I'm definitely putting one of these in my next tank!

Might be the first time I have ever seen one

I've never seen them for sale.

I kept one, they can be difficult to get eating at first. Very personable in your face blenny behavior. It nipped at random corals, not repeatedly at the same one but just nip nip nip wherever it went. Very cool looking.

I got mine eating ova/eggs then eventually weaned onto other foods mixing with that. Be ready with lots of different foods available just in case it doesn't eat for you.

Mine came from Divers Den.

I did not even know these were a species of blennies!
