grand cayman fish

  1. I saw several of these guys. They looked like blennies of some sort. Usually flitting around coral at depths of 10-15m.They were pretty large, maybe 6-8cm long. My guess is that they are pretty common as I saw several of them, but I have not seen them previously.

  2. It's a Redlip blenny (Ophioblennius atlanticus), yes, very common. They like very shallow water.

  3. Thanks. Much appreciated.

  4. Yeh .. I don't see as many of them down at 15m as I do right on the coast playing in the ironshore with the swells.

     

    One of my fave little guys .. and good job getting a nice snap, they are speedy!
