🐠 Blackline Blenny (Meiacanthus nigrolineatus)
Marine Fish • Reef-Safe Fang Blenny • Community Friendly • Venomous Defender
 
📋 The Blackline Blenny (Meiacanthus nigrolineatus) displays a vivid yellow body with a bold black dorsal line and a contrasting blue-tinted head. A classic fang blenny, it carries mild defensive venom used only for self-protection, yet remains a gentle, reef-safe community fish.
Active and personable, it cruises the mid-water column and perches briefly on rock ledges, adding colour, motion, and character to nano and community reef tanks.
