 Secretary Blenny Hi everyone. Last e-mail from me. Barry should return tomorrow night. I just spoke to him and he has had a wonderful time with everyone just being great to him. He was currently over at our friend’s house having a nice home-cooked meal. They did 3 dives today and tomorrow he heads out for another dive before heading home. We are missing him here!
Today’s photo is of a secretary blenny. This type of blenny finds its home in coral heads (many times brain coral) or in old, forgotten feather worm holes, which is what this one found. Blennies are tiny creatures and many times the only part you see is their head as they bravely shoot in and out of their safe little homes in search of a quick snack before darting in once again tail first. They have a cute little duck-billed face and eat mostly plankton as it floats by. In order to see them a diver needs to just settle down at a coral head and let the blenny get used to you and curiosity usually draws them out. You can see his size by looking at the coral polyps he is just above. They are much smaller than your pinkie finger.
Well I hope the Monday began a good week for all. Thanks for all the fun replies to my blog, I appreciate it a ton. See you later…
