Description
The Giant Green Blenny, also known as the Horned Blenny, is a robust saltwater fish identified by its prominent, branched cirri above the eyes and a mottled or banded body. This bottom-dwelling species perches on rocks, feeding on algae and small invertebrates. It is generally peaceful but can be territorial with conspecifics.
