How about some blenny shots?

[Robyn C.]

I think that blennies are fascinating and so amusing to watch! They steal my attention whenever I spot them.
Here are 3 of my favorite shots...

I took this close-up shot of a Diamond Blenny that was concealed underneath an anemone when I was at Little Cayman.

Here's a shot of a Bluethroat Pikeblenny cautiously peeking out from his hole at Phil Foster Park in West Palm Beach, FL.

This tight shot of a Seaweed Blenny was also taken at Phil Foster Park in West Palm Beach, FL.

Thanks for looking. I'd love to see some of your favorite blenny shots too!

Don't laugh...it's true. The Wolf "eel" is the world's largest blenny!

Well live and learn! I didn't know wolf eels were blennies! I had to look around for blennies that I haven't already posted on other threads. Here's a seaweed out of its hole on the wreck, Pete Tide II near Pensacola, FL:

Can I play :D

Anyone know what species this is?

Thanks Ken

[Papa Bear]

You can! It looks a lot like a Secretary? But a lot of the rough heads and triple fins look a lot a lot alike?

[Papa Bear]

Was it in the Bahamas? Location is important!

[Ken Hawk]

Was it in the Bahamas? Location is important!

Sorry i should have said, it was taken in Bonaire.

I have a few more well 100s, must sort them out, some different species.

Thanks Ken

Clearly you people are blenny nuts! Maybe we need to do a blenny calendar!

I just had a 'where's waldo?' moment, trying to find the blenny in your last shot, LOL!

[yscuba]

Hello All,

My first time posting, I like Blennys and Gobys, one of my favorite macro subjects. Here are three I have on file.

Since there was a clingfish and several other gobies, I thought I would put this one in too. One of my favorites.

[Robyn C.]

Your 'trash can blenny' is so cute! We have lots of 'pop bottle blennies' where I dive in WPB, but I've yet to see a trash can blenny! ;)

Your PNG blennies are nice... and so unusual! Thanks for posting these.

Beautiful photo, but it begs a caption.

Perhaps I'm dating myself from the old days of SNL.

No comment :D

[allison finch]

:D

Ahhh....I remember so well....

But, wouln't the fish have to have big red lips??:rolleyes:

[redkane]

These are such cool critters. There are so many types and varieties. It's easy to see why people can be fascinated by them. Really shows the benefits of diving nice and slow and just admiring the scenery. I think too many people are in a rush to get somewhere and miss all the cool stuff that is passing beneath them in their hurry to get who knows where.

[allison finch]

A really tiny one from Bonaire.

This one seems to be very fast getting most views....soon 10 000 is broken!

Our most popular thread...maybe subject for contest!

Great!
