🐠 Kamohara Blenny (Meiacanthus kamoharai)
Marine Fish • Reef-Safe Fang Blenny • Micro-Predator/Omnivore • Unique Pattern Specimen
 
📋 The Kamohara Blenny features a deep charcoal to black body with a striking white or silver horizontal stripe running from the eye to the tail, and in younger individuals may show intricate white speckling or scribbles. As they mature the pattern simplifies. Found in shallow reef zones off southern Japan, this fish is hardy and brings bold patterning to mixed reef systems.
In aquariums, it becomes a fascinating micro-predator/omnivore, perching among rockwork and flicking out to capture small prey or graze substrate. Given its fang-blenny lineage (it has venomous fangs used defensively), it offers both a unique story and behaviour for your customers — making it a forward-thinking inventory piece.
