A Blue-lined Sabretooth Blenny (Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos), also commonly known as a Bluestriped Fangblenny, looks out of its burrow in a coral reef in the Banda Sea in Indonesia.
These aggressive blennies feed on the skin and scales of other fish and they have been known to bite divers. The name 'fang blenny' or 'sabre-tooth blenny' come from the large pair of curved canine teeth on the lower jaw.
