Good morning all, another day has arrived today is extreme creature day and today's creature is the Bluestriped Fangblenny whatever that is. Ok it's a fish.
This fish is a master of disguised it can change colour to look like other fish, it can change into many different colours depending on which school of fish it wants to blend in with.
Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos, commonly called the bluestriped fangblenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian ocean. This species reaches a length of 12 centimetres.
It is not usually aggressive unless the tank mates appear to have a similar shape as it does. Its fangs are more of a defense mechanism used for biting an aggressive fish back. The Striped Blenny diet consists of chopped crustaceans, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and frozen food preparations for herbivores.
What a beauty. Are they like the neons? My son used to have them and they seemed to glow under lights.
