Today we bring you a string of videos from YouTube...
Concerning the BlennyWatchers.
Via YouTube: After years of looking for the big stuff we were getting a little bored. Then we discovered blennies. Blennies are everywhere and we travel the globe to find them. No seas are too rough, no dive site too remote and no blen too fearsome. Features short clips of blennies from Bonaire, Florida, Baja California, the Philippines and Indonesia.For more information:http://BlennyWatcher.com

Blennies are popular with divers and fishwatchers. Some, like the fangblenny, are well studied because they mimic the do-gooder cleaner wrasse. But little is know about others, like the beautiful but mysterious Obscure Blenny (Salarias obscurus.) Unlike other reef fish, we rarely observe them doing anything more than just sitting. Are divers affecting their behavior? What does this blenny do when we're not around? In this episode, Dr. Wendy and her blenny wranglers, Shirley and Cary, are joined by one of the Blenny Hunters, Claire. With Claire's skill at finding blennies, they capture the elusive Obscure Blenny. Using the latest in miniature technology, the Blennycam, they hope to unlock the Secrets of the Blenny.

The scientists, writers and photographers from ReefNet and New World Publications have joined forces once again. The elite team studies all fish but specializes in blennies. Deep reefs, sheer walls, shallow rocks -- blennies are everywhere and nothing is too challenging for this group. If you have mystery blenny, and no one else can help, maybe you can call the B-Team.
This week's episode: Invasion of the Blenny Snatcher.
Reports are filtering out of the Caribbean about an unidentified blenny. But the images are blurry, making identification difficult. Although none of the group has ever met him, Dr. Ben, a renowned blenny expert, is invited to join the B-Team on this special mission to locate and photograph what could be a new species.
