False Cleanerfish (Aspidontus taeniatus)Observer
francoislibertDescription
(EN) False Cleanerfish - (FR) Faux nettoyeur
Aspidontus taeniatus, Tahiti, French Polynesia
The False Cleanerfish, actually a Blenny, mimics the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse, using its very similar coloration to lure fishes into believing it will rid them of their parasites and dead skin them like the Wrasse would. However the Blenny not only does not clean them, but it will also pick small pieces of flesh or fins from its victim, who will suddenly become much more suspicious towards any Cleanerfish - true or false.
