Very hardy and nice addition to most reef tanks. Care must be taken when handling this one, as it does have a venomous bite which can inflict a painful wound to the aquarist, as well as any tankmate it fights with. As with other Blennies, this one will become aggresive to like species. |

The Harptail Blenny (Meiacanthus mossambicus) belongs to the family named Blenniidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.5 inches in length, the Harptail Blenny is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Meiacanthus mossambicus should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
