Shipping & Live Arrival

$59.99 overnight livestock shipping — contiguous 48 states and Washington, DC only. No Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, territories, PO boxes, military addresses or international delivery. Livestock does not qualify for free standard shipping. Separate fulfillment groups may incur separate checkout charges.

Ships directly from our livestock supplier Monday–Wednesday, subject to animal readiness and safe weather. Allow up to a 14-day quarantine/preparation window before dispatch. Overnight transit begins after shipment, not when the order is placed. Supplier preparation does not replace your own quarantine or guarantee a disease-free fish.

For a live arrival issue, contact us immediately and provide clear photos within 12 hours of carrier-confirmed delivery. See our Shipping & Live Arrival Policy for full terms.

A fascinating bottom explorer that searches rock and sand for tiny live foods. Best for keepers ready to support its specialized diet.

Quick Care Guide

Offered size: 2–3 inches; one fish.
Adult size: Up to approximately 5 inches.
Recommended minimum aquarium: 30 gallons; footprint, stocking and adult needs matter.
Temperament: Peaceful; specialist feeder.

Aquarium Setup & Compatibility

Reef compatible, but not an algae-eating blenny. Needs a mature, pod-rich aquarium and peaceful tankmates. Tank volume alone does not ensure enough food; avoid competing dragonets and inspect body condition regularly.

Feeding for Long-Term Success

Carnivore: a sustainable supply of live copepods and other small benthic prey. Prepared food acceptance is not guaranteed.

Water & Arrival

Provide a fully cycled, stable marine aquarium around 75–78°F, specific gravity 1.024–1.026 and pH 8.1–8.4. Ammonia and nitrite should be undetectable. Follow the supplied arrival instructions and avoid abrupt salinity or temperature changes. Use a covered aquarium and species-appropriate quarantine setup.

Useful Pairings

Prepare with our fish acclimation and isolation equipment, fish foods and water testing supplies. Select foods to match this fish’s diet; acclimation equipment does not replace quarantine.
