This is Blenny. He's a tailspot blenny, and he hopes everyone has a good day today. Or at least that they give him some snacks.

I hadn't really noticed blennies much until visiting Bonaire in 2021. We went boat diving during the day and found all sorts of interesting stuff, but we spent our evenings swimming around the reef at the resort. Every coral head seemed to have a few blennies in it and since we didn't have a group to keep up with, we could just camp out and take pictures. This one was found in less than 15 feet of water!

Impressive mouth-fight in a blenny fish species, the well-named sarcastic fringehead.
