The Tail Spot Blenny is easily identified by the dark spot at the base of its tail and black and yellow band below each eye. They have large eyes and a small mouth, giving them a comical appearance. These smaller fish are often found hiding among crevices and rocks on the bottom of their environment and require at least a 10-gallon tank with plenty of live rock for grazing, perching, and hiding. It's important to avoid housing them with aggressive species that may intimidate them.

To maintain a healthy diet, the Tail Spot Blenny needs vegetable matter, including frozen and dried foods with marine and blue-green algae. They also feed on and help control algae growing in the aquarium.
