Sabre-toothed blenny Fish

The Sabre Toothed Blenny, can be found hanging out around the coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. You can look at the picture and think to yourself that this fish looks unusually familiar. Well, it must be because we have a Wild Fact on the fish that looks like the cleaner wrasse. Think of the cleaner wrasse? This is the small fish that larger fish helps by picking the parasites from their bodies. This cute little fish would perform a dance, so the bigger fish would know it was time for a cleaning.

Well, the Sabre-Toothed Blenny complicates the process for the larger fish. You see, they look almost identical to the cleaner wrasse and even they know how to perform the special dance. The only problem is, the Sabre-Toothed Blenny derives its name from the large teeth in their mouth (relative to their size). Now, what on earth do you think the Blenny does with these teeth? That’s right, they use them for a nice big bite out of the unsuspecting fish in for a cleaning. The bite does not kill the fish, but I bet it does not feel very good.
