Rippled Rockskipper

Found in schools in very shallow waters hiding in cracks, holes, under rocks and seaweed or energetically skipping around breakwaters, jetties over rock pools and rubble areas in protected intertidal bays and harbours. They breath air when out of the water.

Combtooth Blennies are the largest family of blennies, found in both tropical and subtropical waters and freshwater habitats, as the name suggests they have comb like teeth lining their jaws, well suited for scraping food off hard surfaces!
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.
