23/5/2007 - Fijian Fish #2 - Ecsenius fijiensis, 1988

Fiji Clown Blenny.

A relative newcomer on the scientific classification index, if you Google this guy's Latin name you will get a remarkably low number of hits - less than 1000 (compared with Triaenodon obesus for example, which gets over 30,000). A Good Goggler that spots this fish, common in Fiji, will therefore be one of only a few that has knowingly seen this fish in the wild.


 

Gogglers with keen eyes and clear goggles may spot that members of this species actually come in a couple of different colour variations...

Fiji Clown Blenny, red variation.
