Description
Also known as Reef Blennies, Rock Blennies, Two-colour Combtooth Blenny and Two-coloured Blenny.
Found singly on clear water reef crests and slopes and in outer lagoons with coral bommies.
Colours vary from two colours to white bellied with dark strip on side and arched line behind and below the eye.
They feed on algae from dead coral bases.
Length - 8.5cm
Depth - 2-20m
Widespread Indo-Pacific
Reef and rock blennies are usually territorial and have their own areas of rock pools which they skip and jump over, scraping algae from the surface of dead corals. Some male blennies have small harems of arguing females.
Males and females often have different colouring and features.
