Info

Parablennius serratolineatus is a secretive, shy little blenny with faint brown spots on its head and a broad dark stripe along the top of its eye to the base of its tail.

It lives in shallow reefs, often sheltered among the spines of sea urchins, and can sometimes be found in large numbers around coral heads and vertical reef walls.
near rocky shores.

The Norfolk Island wrasse, a small combtooth blenny endemic to the area around Norfolk Island, is susceptible to habitat degradation and possible effects of climate change.
For this reason, it is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
