The
Smith's Fang Blenny is a peaceful individual who seldom attacks other
fishes and is seldom attacked by other fishes. Partially due to the
fact that it can inflict a venomous bite with it's fangs in defense.
It makes an excellent addition to a reef tank and since it is
aquacultured, it is much easier to successfully keep over Wild Caught
specimens. |
