Description An amazing mimic of the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus, not only in colour but behaviour. There is a dual basis to the mimicry: the blenny avoids predation in its guise of the wrasse (which is protected because it removes ectoparasites from other fishes) and it gets closer to its prey. It feeds in part by tearing pieces from the fins of other fishes<307>. [details]
