Molly Miller Blenny (Scartella cristata)

The Molly Miller Blenny, also referred to as the Combtooth Blenny, originates from the Caribbean. This saltwater fish boasts a body and fins adorned in a motley combination of tan, white, and black hues. Characterized by its distinctive appearance, this fish features a head adorned with short hair-like extensions and prominently large eyes.

To create an appropriate habitat, it’s recommended to establish a well-maintained aquarium of 30 gallons or more, equipped with numerous hiding spots and abundant live rock. The presence of live rock serves a dual purpose by providing both hunting grounds for small crustaceans and algae, as well as secure shelter. Their disposition tends to remain non-aggressive, unless its tank companions share a similar physique.

When it comes to sustenance, the diet ought to encompass meaty fare such as finely chopped crustacean flesh, frozen brine and mysis shrimp enriched with vitamins. In cases where the aquarium lacks sufficient algae, supplementing the diet with high-quality dried seaweed becomes imperative.
