Salarias Fasciatus (Bloch 1786) |
Affectionately known as the Lawnmower Blenny, Salarias Fasciatus is a popular marine aquarium fish species in Australasia. Named for its propensity to consume algae growth from rocks and glass, the Lawnmower Blenny is generally regarded as compatible with most other marine fish species and as a group with other lawnmower Blennies.
