Plagiotremus Rhinorhynchos
''Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos'', commonly called the bluestriped fangblenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian ocean. This species reaches a length of SL. It is also known as the ''bluestriped blenny'', ''bluestriped sabretooth blenny'', ''blunt-nose blenny'', ''cleaner mimic'', ''tube-worm blenny'' or the ''two-stripe blenny''. They hide in deserted worm tubes or other small holes. The fangblenny is a specialised mimic of juvenile bluestreak cleaner wrasse. Those fish serve as cleaners to larger host fish, which attend to have ectoparasites removed. The fangblenny does no cleaning, but bites the host fish and leaves. Its opioid-containing venom helps it escape, as it gives a pain-free bite which also dulls the host's reactions. Description From before birth, their eggs are demersal and adhesive and attach to substrates via a filamentous adhesive pad or pedestal. The bluestriped fangblenny can attain around 90mm in length. Two dis ...
