The One-striped Fang Blenny, scientifically known as Meiacanthus ditrema, is a captivating fish species found in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean. Reaching a size of approximately 3 inches (6 cm), this small blenny inhabits shallow protected reefs, forming schools in depths ranging from 15 to 65 feet (5 to 20 meters). They should be kept in a tank of at least 20 gallons. Its range stretches from the Philippines to Samoa, Southern Japan to the Great Barrier Reef, Tonga, and Palau. Though not commonly collected for the trade, this blenny species enthralls researchers and divers alike with its venomous fangs primarily used for defensive purposes. Its diet mainly consists of zooplankton, and small invertebrates so you will want to feed them a variety of small meaty saltwater foods such as, baby brine shrimp, articpods, copepods, and reefroids. They are reef safe with caution as they can inflict a venomous bite to other fish.

Venomous: Please be aware that this fish is venomous and could cause painful and long lasting stings.
