WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Three separate fins line the yellow blackfaced blenny’s back. The body is elongated, and the small pointed head carries prominent eyes.

A male in breeding colours is bright yellow with a black head. Females and other males are brown to reddish with dark bars and a dark mark before the tail.
