Not at all. It grazes and picks algaes off certain corals but never caused any harm.

It could be a number of reasons why LiveAquaria's specimen looks different. Based on their description of the fish, they listed "Color Form: Black, Green, Red". Also, a more unlikely reason could be that "The males are generally larger than the females and experience a succession of color changes when breeding," according to their description.

On Fishbase the first picture is quite different than the 4th picture and so on...

My guess is that there are different variations of the "Ember Blenny" or "Stigmata Blenny." Perhaps age/maturity/sex has a role as well. But of course, your guess is as good as mine

Anyone have any idea where one can purchase a stigmata blenny online? Stunning fish!

Thanks for any help here. I looked in the usual places but no luck.

Does anyone have experience with any blenny and SPS. I have had to fish two different blennies out of my tank thus far because they eat SPS. Black combtooth and red rockskipper blennies both are bad news for SPS......and no they were not after any algea on the coral, the flesh was clearly being ripped off of the skeleton and eaten. Any truely SPS safe blennies in experience!?
