Description
The Ewa Fangblenny is a slender, colorful marine blenny endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. It features an orange-brown body with a striking bright blue horizontal stripe and purple-pink fins. This species is known for its mimicry of cleaner wrasses and its unique predatory behavior of nipping at the scales and mucus of other fish.
