Don't know much about them?

:help: Does anyone know anything about Scooter Blennies? I would like one, but don't know much about them! Please help!
Also while i'm here, do you have to spot feed all corals?
Thanks:notsure:

Scooter Blennies have much the same specific dietary needs as a mandarin. They require a large supply of pods to remain healthy, very few will eat anything besides pods. You'll need a minimum of 100lbs of LR and/or a large refugium to maintain a pod population. Most LPS's will need to be spot fed.

Kudos for asking about an animal BEFORE purchasing it!!!

I second the posted comments.

Whats a pod?

'pod = Amphipods, Isopods, Copepods & Ostracodes. These little bugs are the primary food for Dragonettes (Scooters & Mandarins).

It's possible to get it to eat other stuff too -- before my lobster decided to make a meal of my Mandarin, it was eating frozen brine on a daily basis. I'd only had my live rock for probably a month when I first got him, and he survived several months and never showed any signs of being sick/hungry/etc.
