🐠 Two Spot Blenny (Ecsenius bimaculatus)

A Pale Tan Body With Two Distinctive Black Spots • One of the Smallest Blennies in the Trade • An Entertaining, Active Nano Personality

 

📋 The Two Spot Blenny, also known as the Twinspot Blenny or Twinspot Coralblenny, has a simple but charming pale tan-to-white body with a darker band running through the eye, and two distinctive black spots on the lower body that give it its common name.

It comes from reefs around Cebu in the Philippines and surrounding waters, one of the smallest blennies in the aquarium trade, rarely exceeding 5cm, a great fit for nano and small reef tanks. Every Two Spot Blenny we ship is feeding well.

This is an entertaining, active fish, spending its day hopping between favourite perches, grazing algae from live rock, and observing its surroundings. It's generally reef safe, though it can occasionally nip at fleshy corals or clam mantles, particularly if underfed, so a consistent food supply matters. It's territorial toward other blennies or similarly shaped fish and does best kept singly. It reaches up to 5cm, so a 38L tank suits it well.
