I love it! Is that an anemone on the left side?

Yessir just a common green bta. The blenny watches the tentacles as they flow near his little hole there, fun to watch. He's out and about as much as he's in his home tho; anything going on he comes to investigate. Great fish addition!

Also, his colors change rapidly depending on what rock he's on. On his dark home rock in the pic he's darker but I have newer marco rock in the tank and he lightens right up near it; pretty neat fish

Very cool! I’ll have to keep an eye out to see the changes in our blenny. Been thinking about an anemone in our tank, but I’m nervous it will move somewhere unfortunate haha

He's deep in the back of this one. Swimming up to the powehead and being shot across the tank.

I'll work on a better one today. He hasn't been the atra of a shoot for a minute.

My macro algae came on the Tampa Bay saltwater live rock that I bought.

Petco a few months back. I'm happy with him, hasn't touched the leathers. Unlike the pencil I had in there.

Reluctant dinner pals!

I'm just jealous at this point... my local petco never has anything good.

This one has gems every now and again. There are better ones around though.

I love how expressive little Sally’s face is. Shellback crabs are such wonderful creatures.

Good news I found a chestnut in a LFS while searching for authentic live rock. Question is does your chestnut leave coral alone? Would very much like to see him in my main display but could also stay in the macroalgae tank if he picks on coral.

So far he doesn't touch the coral. It's just the one leather in the tank though. I can't speak to his taste for anything else. I might have a better answer in a month when the new tank gets filled.
