Description
The Galápagos Four-eyed Blenny is a unique intertidal fish found in the rocky shorelines and tide pools of the Galápagos Islands. It is notable for its divided cornea, which gives the appearance of four eyes, allowing it to see both in and out of water simultaneously. This blenny is generally peaceful but can be territorial towards other blennies or similar bottom-dwelling fish.
