The Horned blenny lives in the reef-associated, marine environment.

The Horned Blenny originates in the Caribbean Sea. Its body is a mottled tan with darker spots adorning the body and fins. The head of this fish carries two large branching horns which gives this species a unique look that adds to its equally unique personality. More

The Horned Blenny does best in well-established aquariums with large amounts of natural algae to feed on. The diet can be supplemented with vegetable matter, Spirulina, and herbivore preparations. More
