Description
Entomacrodus lemuria is a small, hardy marine blenny native to the intertidal zones of the Western Indian Ocean. It displays cryptic mottled coloration, allowing it to blend perfectly with its rocky habitat. These blennies are known for their ability to 'skip' across rocks out of water.
