Spalding's Blenny (Salarias sexfilum)

Living their life grazing algae in tropical north-west Australian intertidal rock pools, these blennies are extremely intricate up close. They perch on-top of hard corals and are extremely quick to zip away into rock cracks when they feel threatened.

Their sister species from the east coast of Australia is also known as the Lawnmower Blenny in the marine aquarium trade, for their tendencies to be included in reef tanks as a fish to help control algae.
