Spotted Coral Blenny and Stocky Hawkfish

A Spotted coral blenny and stocky hawkfish in the waters off Hawaii

These are a couple of fish that spend a good deal of their time sitting, stationary, on coral or rocks. The similarity ends there.

The hawkfish is a predator, waiting for small fish or crustaceans to come within range. The blenny feeds solely on living coral. And while this blenny is probably an adult at about 6 inches long, the hawkfish can grow to twice that size.
