Seafan Blenny
Emblemariopsis pricei
- Group: Blenny
- Typical depth: 1–30 m
- Max size: 2.9 cm
- For divers: safe
- IUCN status: VU
A tiny blenny that lives on the surface of hard corals and sea fans, more tied to that habitat than most of its relatives. Breeding males claim tubes abandoned by serpulid worms, and the fish grows to only about three centimetres; loss of its reef home has left it vulnerable.
Taxonomy: Animalia › Chordata › Teleostei › Blenniiformes › Chaenopsidae › Emblemariopsis
