Field Notes

Description:

This was a very nice catch for me. This blenny is tiny, a few cm only. And was looking with its slightly asian-like face very intently to me. Got him just on time before he hid back in his hole.

Yellow, black dorsal strip. Blueish or greyish at the front. Dark strip runs though its eye.

Habitat:

Coral reefs and walls in the Red Sea
