Petroscirtes mitratus

Petriscirtes mitratus, commonly known as the Floral blenny, is a small blenny. They can best be described as a small Salarias fasciatus with red spots on their side and a high first dorsal spine.

These fish are usually found solitary or in small groups in algae rich areas. In a tank they can best be kept alone or as a mated pair, unless a huge tank with ample hiding spots can be provided. They feed mainly on algae, detritus and small crustaceans and can best be fed with high quality algae flakes and pellets but will eat live and frozen food like copepods, artemia and Gammarus as well.
