Description
The Foureye Rockskipper is a fascinating amphibious blenny native to the Indo-Pacific intertidal zones. It is known for its ability to live both in and out of water, using its pectoral fins to 'skip' across rocks. This species requires a specialized paludarium setup in captivity, with both aquatic and terrestrial areas.
