Origin: West Americas

Size info:
Size L: approx. 2 - 3"

There once was a Molly Miller Blenny,
With a head that was crowned so trendy.
It lived in the sea,
And its color, oh gee!
Its skin was a yellow so bendy.

This fish has a crest on its head,
A unique feature it's often said.
It swims in the sand,
With a wave of its hand,
And feeds on small creatures it's led.

But don't let its size fool you, my friend,
This blenny can fiercely defend.
With teeth oh so sharp,
It's no easy mark,
And its bite can really contend.

So if you see a Molly Miller Blenny,
Take a moment to appreciate any,
For its beauty and charm,
Will leave you with warm,
And admiration for this fish aplenty!
