Spotted Coral Blenny

A Spotted coral blenny perches on a coral head in the waters off Hawaii

I saw this Spotted Coral Blenny perched on a small coral head, as they typically do. I snapped a quick photo an instant before the fish zipped down behind the rock. I’ve seen the same fish there a few times since, but it disappears before I can try another photo. Given its elusiveness, I was happy this photo turned out pretty well.

What good luck. It’s a very attractive fish, so if it doesn’t like being in the spotlight, it’s really not dressed for it.

  I think it’s very nattily dressed, but a bit shy!

  I like the little fish that sit on or in the coral.
