Carpet Eel Blenny Dottyback

Found singly, blending in with its surroundings, in shallow, brackish waters, amongst crevices in rocks, rubble, and in seagrass beds, of coral reefs.

Dottybacks are usually small and often brightly coloured.
They live inside the reefs structure, often at the back of caves and are very territorial and aggressive.
Females lay eggs which are guarded by the males who pick them up in their mouths on a regular basis to mix and aerate them.
