  • Pictured here are three male Neoclinus bryope blennies. They are engaged in a stand-off during the reproductive season. As is apparent in this photo, the blennies are able to adjust their coloration to fit the situation and their surroundings. When these blennies emerge fully from the protection of their holes in the reef, they often become drab and bland in color as seen here, perhaps to blend-in with the background. The color of their distinctive dorsal fin spots also seems capable of shifting in hue.
