Midas Blenny

Midas Blenny

Ecsenius midas

The Midas Blenny is a gorgeous, all-yellow to orange blenny with a lyre-shaped tail and large, expressive eyes. Unlike most blennies, it hovers in the water column mimicking the behavior of anthias rather than hugging the bottom. Hardy and generally peaceful, it accepts a varied diet of frozen meaty foods and algae-based fare; provide plenty of rockwork holes to retreat into.
