"Hidden Gems of the Underwater World: Meet the Combtooth Blenny" Diving into the depths of Lembeh Straits in Sulawesi, Indonesia, we encounter a fascinating creature known as the Combtooth Blenny. This small but captivating fish, scientifically named Ecsenius Sp. , emerges from its cozy hole in hard coral off the island of Yap in Micronesia. In Kimmeridge Bay, Isle of Purbeck, Dorset, another member of this blenny family called Shanny diligently guards its precious eggs under a rock exposed at low tide. These blennies truly showcase their dedication to parenthood. Venturing further across the globe to Galapagos Archipelago in Ecuador, we find ourselves amidst vibrant reefs where Large-banded Blennies thrive near cracks and holes. Their presence adds an enchanting touch to these already mesmerizing surroundings. The Triplespot Blenny gracefully glides through Lembeh Straits in Sulawesi during January. Its striking appearance captivates divers who are fortunate enough to witness this beautiful creature up close. Resting on black sand along with other marine wonders is the Hairtail Snakeblenny found in Lembeh Straits. Its unique features make it stand out against its surroundings and leave us awestruck by nature's diversity. Seeking shelter within a bottle or swimming freely through Sulawesi's waters is none other than the Shorthead Sabretooth Blenny. These charismatic creatures bring joy and wonder wherever they go. Not too far away lies Falmouth, Cornwall where Shanny finds solace on limpet and barnacle-covered rocks along the shoreline habitat. It reminds us that even amidst our busy lives, there's always time for peaceful moments by the sea. Last but not least, we discover Starry Blennies seeking refuge within holes both near Komodo Island's Gili Lawa Darat Bay and in Sulawesi's Gili Lawa Darat Bay.
