Give it a mature aquarium with plenty of rock surfaces, and make sure it is eating well. Algae grazing is useful, but it should never replace a proper feeding plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salarias ramosus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blenniidae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult size:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 5.5–6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAquarium:\u003c\/strong\u003e established, 30 gallons minimum; more space offers additional grazing territory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e generally peaceful with other fish; can defend its space against other blennies or similarly shaped fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e generally suitable for reef aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e rockwork with shelters, resting places and natural grazing surfaces; a secure lid is essential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvide algae-based marine foods, spirulina preparations and suitable herbivore foods alongside natural grazing.
