    "The Molly Miller blenny might best be described as a "utility fish." 
This not-so-fussy eater has earned a reputation as an effective aquarium
 scavenger; it is known to feed on nuisance algae and detritus, and is 
widely reputed to feed on cyanobacteria and Aiptasia  spp. sea 
anemones. If even half of these reports hold up to truth, the Molly 
Miller blenny could truly be the preeminent clean-up critter of the 
marine aquarium fish trade." Kenneth Wingerter   |

 Survival rate this time is about 20%, This is the first time I have got them this far. I have tried in the past and they have all died. They are an extremely active larvae and need lots of food. I think I starved them in the past.
