As far as I know, there are no outward signs to determine the gender of a LMB nor reports of captive breeding, but I've heard both male and female blennies have two spines in the anal fin. In the female one or both may be smaller or even embedded while on the male they may be capped with a fleshy tissue.

But there is a little light on their reproductive habits.
