combtooth blenny

Combtooth blennies are small, diverse marine fish found in various seas, from tropical to cold waters. They are typically slim, with some species being elongated and eel-like. Their habitats include rocky pools, reefs, kelp beds, and sandy beaches, with most living in shallow areas but some descending to depths of about 450 meters. Their diet varies, with some being herbivores, others carnivores, and some consuming dead organic matter. While generally unobtrusive and of little economic importance, some combtooth blennies are kept as aquarium fish. The family Blenniidae, which includes combtooth blennies, is characterized by scaleless bodies, blunt noses, and comblike teeth.123
