A Common Blenny (Lipophys pholis), camouflaged against the sandy bottom of a rockpool. Blennys can survive out of water during lowtides - because of this in some places they are known as Sea Frogs. County Clare, Ireland.

Older #artwork of a postage stamp design featuring a red-spotted #blenny, done in the style of a 15th century woodcut.

I love blennies, they are amazing!
