Little Blenny, Giant Clam

[J-Ranko]

After several days of hiding my pikeblenny ventured out into the open today and I was able to take some pictures with my new Nikon DSLR (using kit lens). He rested on the sand bed next to my smallish Derasa clam:

My clam is not by any means "giant" yet, but next to this slender little fish it seemed huge.

Here he is heading back to his lair:

Now if I can just get a shot of him with his mouth wide open...

Thanks, Tureefik87! I managed to snap a pic of him with his mouth open (I don't think it's as wide as possible):

He's venturing out more frequently and he really likes to hang out by the clam. Here he is again:
