The Starry Algae Blenny, scientifically known as Salarias ramosus, is a distinctive and popular marine fish known for its unique star-like patterns across its body. This small, peaceful blenny species is renowned for its algae-eating habits, making it a beneficial addition to reef aquariums for controlling algae growth. It thrives in well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock, where it can graze on natural algae growths and exhibit its curious and active behaviour.
