Acanthemblemaria castroi

Rank
Species

The Galápagos Barnacle Blenny is a small, cryptic resident of rocky and coral reef habitats around the Galápagos Islands. It inhabits crevices and holes, rarely venturing far from shelter, and feeds on small crustaceans and organic debris. Like other barnacle blennies, it is territorial and will dart out to snap at passing prey before retreating to its refuge.
