FamilyBlenniidaeAlso known ascombtooth blenny, scaleless blennyDescriptionA small, cryptic fish peering out from a crevice in coralline algae-encrusted reef rock. Blennies are characterized by their large eyes, blunt heads, and habit of perching in holes and crevices. They are typically carnivorous or omnivorous, feeding on algae, small invertebrates, and detritus.HabitatRocky reefs, coral reefs, and rubble zones from the intertidal to depths of ~30m; found in tropical and subtropical seas worldwide.NotesThe fish is well-camouflaged within a reef crevice, showing only its head with a distinctive large circular eye and mottled brown coloration. Cannot determine species to level below family without seeing full body and cirri detail. Could be a combtooth blenny (Blenniidae) or possibly a small moray eel head — the rounded snout and large eye pattern is more consistent with a blenny.Creatures detected5 in frame- blenny in crevicefish
