UndrH2Oman 0 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Spotted this critter at 50 ft. on the wall. Only angle available was a straight shot on. What may it be?? baby eel?? Edited June 3, 2015 by UndrH2Oman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quinn 3 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I was quite sure I recognized your critter but wanted to confirm it with Ben @ Coralreeffish.com. He agreed, Blackbelly Blenny. Sorry I 'm not aware of the Latin/ scientific name. I found one once many years ago, in the shallows of Grand Cayman. Very tiny,perhaps 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. moving between the algae clumps on the hard pan at either Cobalt Coast or Turtle Reef..Tough to photograph, I got less than decent head on shot, but enough for someone at Reef to identify at the time. Havent seen one since, and I've been looking!! Have never known any one else to find one either..Great find!! Edited June 3, 2015 by Quinn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquidguru 17 Posted June 4, 2015 My good friend Mickey Charteris, from the other side of Roatan, sent me the following: Blackbelly Blenny, found and shot by a friend of mine here. Never found one myself, but got it identified (Stathmonotus hemphillii) See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwNfb-EJ3L0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
