Blue Striped Fang Blenny

Plagiotremus Blennies should be added to well established aquariums with rock work for perching, hiding and grazing. They are hardy, active and can be a bit aggressive and territorial towards smaller, less aggressive tank mates. Plagiotremus Blennies are often found in areas of lagoons, seaward reefs. Provide a diet rich in meaty foods. Plagiotremus Blennies may pick at small fish or crustaceans. Most Blennies lack or have very small swim bladders. Be sure to provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as Blennies may jump.

The Blue Striped Fang Blenny is also known as the Bluestriped, Bluestriped Sabretooth, Blunt-Nose, Cleaner Mimic, Tube Worm or Two Stripe Blenny. Not usually seen in the aquarium trade.

They have a white belly but are mainly an orange color with lavendar and light blue stripes. Blue Striped Fang Blennies can grow to 5".
