The Scooter Blenny, Synchiropus ocellatus, is a small fish with a large head with top mounted eyes and a small pointed mouth. It has a starry pattern of black and white splotches scattered across its body with bright blue spots on its head. They are very peaceful and can be housed with other peaceful fish in a reef tank setting, but may become territorial towards other blennies, gobies or dartfish in smaller tanks.

 

Blennnies are known for their incredible jumping abilities, so having a tightly secured lid is suggested. Diet should include a variety of mysis shrimp and vitamin enriched brine shrimp as well as a steady supply of amphipods, copepods, spirulina, marine algae, seaweed and algae based foods 2-3 times daily.
