The Smith's Fang Blenny is also referred to as White's Blenny, Smith's Blenny, or Disco Blenny. Its body is mostly blue with a black stripe which starts at the chin and runs through the eyes and down the dorsal fin.

It tends to do well in an aquarium if provided with live rock in a 30 gallon or larger aquarium. The live rock provides places to hunt and feed on small crustaceans as well as places to hide. It is not usually aggressive unless the tank mates appear to have a similar shape as it does. Its fangs are more of a defense mechanism used for biting an aggressive fish back.

The Smith's Blenny is compatible with either a reef aquarium or a community aquarium, and mixes well with other fish, except other Blennys, of the same body type.Caution as bite from this fish is slightly toxic. If bitten seek medical advice, especially if diabetic, anemic or suseptible to allergic reactions.
