JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 He's a renaissance man. Link to comment
Squared Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 That's what won me over That and he has control over his spots. When he's calm he's solid dark brown with those white saddle stripes. When he's mad he gets almost black and covered in white specks. He also tells funny jokes. that's one of the bests part about blennys when it gets close to night fall and when the lights go off, my blenny puts on his racoon stripes Link to comment
FlCandy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 LOL Love that the fish can do that. He has such a cute face! Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd never had a blenny before. I can't imagine having a tank without one now. favorite fish hands down. Link to comment
Felicia Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I saw a starry blenny at my LFS today and admired him for a while. Maybe when I upgrade I can get one. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 They are nice! Heres a smaller relative of the starry for those interested. Very interesting pattern. And it's in stock. Link to comment
ayobreezie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Man, your starry looks better than mine.. Link to comment
gena Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Man, your starry looks better than mine.. That's because Joel tells him funny jokes and sings him lullabies too, every night Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Man, your starry looks better than mine.. What does yours look like? Like a rough and tumble biker blenny? That's because Joel tells him funny jokes and sings him lullabies too, every night Yeah when I first got him I bought him a joke book and I've spent this whole time teaching him to read. His delivery is a little off but it's still funny. We watched the old Bill Murray movie Stripes yesterday and he really liked it. Link to comment
Squared Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 lol how much does this blenny get fed? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Now that I have a skimmer for a tank twice the size that I have I'm feeding 2x daily a mixture of the 3 main Ocean Nutrition Flakes: Brine Shrimp Plus (literally solid brine shrimp), Prime Reef (more meaty goodness), and Formula 2 (spirulina algae + a lot of garlic for healthy fish). He also eats any algae in my tank and by how much live plankton I have now he's got to be eating a few whether he wants to or not. And lastly he's back to eating sand. And I sometimes give him pizza.

ayobreezie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 What does yours look like? Like a rough and tumble biker blenny? Mine looks like Mirage's in this pic he posted.. I've never seen white eyelashes on mine, does it change colors of those too? Yeah, I got one because I liked the one at the LFS, but that's the only red eyed starry I've seen them stock. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...t&p=3614433 Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've never seen him change his "trees" I'll try to get some good open shots of him calm vs angry. It's adorable. Mark (flame) and Vinny (blenny) are frenemies and they hang out but Vinny is always flared and spotty when they do. Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Fat fish are peaceful fish It's more for the flame though, I'm trying to keep him fed so he never thinks about eating coral. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Bet he just loves you! Spoiling him rotten! Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I tend to spoil things I like Link to comment
gena Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 And I sometimes give him pizza. On Thanksgiving I considered giving my fish a little turkey Not really, but everyone else was having it I saw a starry blenny at my LFS today and admired him for a while. Maybe when I upgrade I can get one. I was admiring the one at Vivid on Saturday. I'm getting one when I upgrade, for sure I can't believe I'm thinking about upgrading Link to comment
iball1804 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 You guys talk about Vivid all the time. Evidently it's nice? Link to comment

I'm getting one when I upgrade, for sure I can't believe I'm thinking about upgrading So you didn't give them turkey? I spot fed my corals some gravy. That's the way things go, you get a tank, fill it up, then you find that fish or coral you have to have but can't keep then the urge slowly builds up until you can't resist! You guys talk about Vivid all the time. Evidently it's nice? Did you see the pictures of the store on Gena's (I think) thread? It's freaking awesome! That's a good headshot of the starry Blenny... +1 He's trying to get his comedy career off the ground Link to comment
