Description: Smith’s Blennies are blennies that are great for reef tanks. These blennies have a venomous bite, which allows them to be kept with larger, more aggressive fish that typically would not be compatible. While not extremely venomous, if you are bit by one you will develop a welt in the spot of the bite so be careful when putting your hands in the tank and when handling. A lid is strongly recommended as this fish can easily jump out of the aquarium.
