The Snake Blenny :>> The Snake Blenny, also known as The “Hair-tail Blenny”, is a species of Combtooth Blenny found in the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans. This species reaches 53 cm. This is a very slender little fish as its name implies, being only about one-twentieth as deep as it is long, slightly flattened sidewise, with head about one-eighth as long as body to base of caudal fin, large eyes, wide mouth, and blunt snout. Amphipods, Copepods, and other tiny Crustacea, with very small Starfish, small Bivalves, and Holothurians have all been found in Snake Blenny stomachs in British seas. These blennies are eaten in their turn by large fish, by Cod and Halibut.
