Gobies and blennies - southern California
Gobies, Blennies and similar fish.
Including an 8-image spotlight on one Hypsoblennius gilberti, a "rock pool blenny," which at the time I thought was a mussel blenny. This little guy lived in a large cement block with a round hole that probably came from some missing reinforcement bar. Since the hole was easy to find under the Santa Monica Pier, I'd visit the fish often and when I got to know him, I was able to get close with my camera.
