Lipophrys nigriceps

(Vinciguerra, 1883)

Fabrizio Frixa Red blenny Lipophrys nigriceps Male plumage. Marine Protected Area "Cyclops Island" Eastern Sicily Ionian Coast.

Stuart Pearce Another great shot, species I have not had a chance to photograph yet :)

Fabrizio Frixa Stuart is not easy to identify because it prefers environments in the shade and can be easily confused with the lesser Tripterygion melanurus much more common.

Stuart Pearce Yes I have made that mistake LOL :)
