Bicolor Blenny

The bicolor blenny (Ecsenius bicolor) is a bit interesting seafloor-dwelling fish.

This fish is called the bicolor blenny because his face is blue half brown on the back and half is yellow or orange.

It belongs to the family Blenniidae. All members of this family have cut projections protruding from their heads called cirri.

Bicolor blennies are from the Indo-Pacific, where they feed on seaweed.

These are small fish, reaching only about 3.5-4 inches (9-10 cm) in length. They are generally peaceful, but did not get along with other bottom-dwelling fish or the other members of their species because these can be territorial blennies. However, consistent with a male-female couple can usually be successfully maintained.
