A dragonet (not a true blenny) that scoot-hops along the sand and rockwork on wing-like pectoral fins hunting copepods and amphipods. Mottled brown, white, and rust with bright blue spots on the head. Entertaining and active but requires a mature established tank with a thriving refugium or live rock pod population to survive long-term. Resistant to marine ich. One of the most characterful small fish you can keep.
