📣Marine Spotlight Alert!👀
🐤Introducing the Canary Blenny (Meiacanthus oualanensis)! This vibrant yellow fish is a standout choice for any reef aquarium! Renowned for its striking coloration and playful behavior, the Canary Blenny adds both beauty and personality to your tank.
🐤Native to the coral reefs of Fiji and Tonga, Canary Blennies are known for their bright yellow bodies adorned with distinctive black markings. They are generally peaceful but can become aggressive toward similarly shaped blennies, it’s recommended to have only one per tank. Their reproductive behavior involves nesting, where they lay eggs in a secure location, often in a crevice or cave. Both parents take turns guarding the eggs until they hatch.
🐤This energetic species thrives in a well-structured reef environment with plenty of crevices and hiding places. Growing to about 4 inches, a minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended to ensure ample space for swimming and hiding. The Canary Blenny can live up to 5 years in a well-maintained aquarium. In terms of diet, this species is omnivorous and will thrive on a varied diet that includes high-quality pellets, frozen foods, and algae.
🐤Fun fact: the Canary Blenny is venomous! In the wild, they protect themselves by biting the inside of their attacker’s mouth with their fangs- their family Meiacanthus is actually referred to as the Fang Blennies because of this! The Canary’s lively nature and vivid colors make them a fantastic addition to most any marine setup, bringing a burst of activity and charm to your aquarium.- just watch your fingers. 😉
🐤Do you have a Canary Blenny? Stop on by to get your own today! (Call ahead to confirm availability.)

📣Marine Spotlight Alert!👀
🦀Introducing the Scarlet Claw Hermit Crab (Paguristes cadenati)! Definitely a fan favorite member of Clean Up Crews, these bright red critters are great at keeping nuisance algae under control!
🦀Scarlet’s are endemic mainly to the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, spending their time in coral reefs, rocky crevices, and sandy bottoms. They don’t have a particular breeding season, and start their lives as planktonic larvae hatched from small red/orange eggs. As opportunistic omnivorous scavengers, they scrounge around live rock and sand beds constantly picking algae and meaty detritus.
🦀This species lives about 2-4 years at home and molt roughly every 10-18 months. When hermit crabs molt, they grow larger and usually need to find a new shell. Having a few empty snail shells on hand will help keep snail predation and in-fighting down. Though Scarlet’s are largely considered Reef Safe, there have been accounts of attacks on snails and conchs when there are insufficient housing options. They are not known, however, to go after coral or other tank mates.
🦀Only growing to about 1.5 inches, Scarlet’s are a great option for just about any size tank. They have been known to reliably mow down annoyances such as filamentous, hair, and slime algae as well as cyanobacteria. If purchased mainly as a member of the Clean Up Crew, a good rule of thumb is to start with 1 crab for every 10 gallons. You can always add more from there!
🦀Do you have a Scarlet Claw Hermit Crab? Show off in the comments! Or stop on by to get your own today! (Call ahead to confirm availability.)
While the kids are heading back to school, our fish are schooling up on the best tank essentials! Swing by and see what’s new! 🎓🐠

📣Marine Spotlight Alert!👀
🌼Introducing the Rock Flower Anemone (Phymanthus crucifer)! Easy on the eyes and in your tank, these anemones are great additions to your aquarium!
🌼Rock Flower Anemones (RFA’s) don’t move around as much as Bubble Tip or Long Te****le Anemones, instead choosing to find a spot on the substrate (preferably rubble) or live rock to sit and stay. While there is still a risk they’ll decide to “walk-about” it is unlikely, and their sting is very mild- making them a much “safer” option when choosing an anemone. That said, they do not host clownfish… BUT they do host some invertebrate species like Porcelain Anemone Crabs and Sexy Shrimp!
🌼RFA’s prefer moderate flow and lighting and can be kept in tanks as small as pico’s. They are photosynthetic carnivores, obtaining their nutrients from the light as well as benefiting from small target feeds of meaty foods like mysis. While they can get up to 4” inches in diameter, they’re unlikely to cause problems with any coral they encroach upon (though the vice versa cannot be said for every coral, of course).
🌼In addition to their weaker sting and more sedentary lifestyle, RFA’s differ from many anemones in their reproductive process by reproducing sexually. When they spawn, the “baby’ grows under the petals of the adult until large enough to separate. Since there is no sexual dimorphism, distinguishing between males and females is nearly impossible. Therefore, if your goal is reproduction, it's best to start with several RFA’s. They come in a wide array of colors and patterns, including vibrant neon pinks, blues, yellows, and greens, so you’re likely to find several you love easily.
