🌿🐟 Lawnmower Blenny Salarias fasciatus
The Ultimate Algae Control Specialist
 
The Lawnmower Blenny (Salarias fasciatus) is a quirky, reef-safe saltwater fish famous for its algae-eating abilities and expressive personality. With its wide mouth and constant grazing behavior, it plays a vital role in keeping live rock and tank surfaces free of unwanted algae.
Peaceful and easy to care for, this bottom-dwelling herbivore thrives in well-established marine aquariums with plenty of live rock. Its natural camouflage and playful movements make it a favorite among reef hobbyists.
This blenny is best kept singly unless housed in a very large tank and pairs well with other peaceful community fish. It's an excellent addition for both beginner and experienced saltwater aquarists seeking a natural algae solution without using chemicals.
