Did anyone fall for any April Fools Day tricks? Our creature of the week is a true trickster. It's called the Sabre-toothed blenny, and it relies on the art of mimicry to get its food. Sabre-toothed blennies mimic the coloration and beha...viors of the blue-streaked cleaner wrasse. However, while the cleaner wrasse actually is beneficial to other fish, cleaning them of parasites and dead material, the sabre-toothed blenny is detrimental to other fish. Just watch the video below! And for more information on sabre-toothed blennies, visit:
