People rave about tailspot blennies! What are their unique behaviors that you like about them? I’m curious if they would work well with my YWG and red scooter blenny
They're funny looking and just roam around the tank from spot to spot. Mine has 4-5 places on the rocks that he likes to tuck himself into. In my experience they are very friendly and once comfortable will swim out when I walk up to the tank.

So the opposite of my watchman goby who zooms away with admittedly impressive speed whenever I approach? LOL
At least in my experience yes. It's funny to see the little face sticking out of a hole and then swim out. They're hilarious at feeding time too.

Right now all it does is hide in PVC tubes, so I can't be of much help :)

But, it is a cool looking fish when it comes out to eat!

I love Gonis and Euphyllia. Maybe too much

Very nice tank. Love the rock work. I honestly wouldn’t worry about light acclimation, I always put the corals right in after temp acclimation. If you’re worried about it you can start the more light sensitive ones at the bottom and then move them over a period of time to where you want them. Sorry about your Copperband. I got one for what was an aiptasia problem. Eats frozen no problem. Another nice one is the Foxface. And my leopard which I heartily recommend

I think we're going to try a Copperband again soon. There's a lot more stuff growing in the tank now, so I think it'll be happier as it learns to eat.

That leopard wrasse is gorgeous! My wife has been saying she might want another wrasse, will check those ones out!
